Figure 5

Skin prick test reactivity (positive/negative) in children (total n = 509) to Aspergillus fumigates and Dermatophagoides pteronysinus prick test solutions were evaluated in n = 287 non-infected (G0), in n = 137 singly (G1), in n = 58 doubly (G2) and n = 27 poly-parasitized (G3+) children. Allergens and positive histamine and negative saline controls were pricked onto the volar surface of the forearm, and reactions were recorded after 15 min. A skin prick test (SPT) weal cut-off diameters of 3 mm or larger was considered as a positive reaction. (p < 0.0001 between G0 and G1).
