In vitro allergy testing

Last month in clinic, I was asked to evaluate an adorable 4-year-old boy who had symptoms of chronic rhinitis, in addition to numerous other clinical conditions, including seizure disorder, chronic lung disease, G tube dependence, and developmental delay. His history and physical examination were not suggestive of an allergic origin, and he was already on medical management for allergies, including an antihistamine and a nasal steroid. We were unable to perform skin prick testing and decided to proceed with in vitro testing.
