Conjunctival Provocation Test (CPT) with an allergen – is it possible to standardize the method?
Main Article Content
Abstract
Authors on the ground literature review and own experiences have tried to sum up knowledge on conjunctival provocative tests. They have shown the variety the techniques, the used allergens and criterions of acknowledgement of result test for positive. They underlined the need of standardization of method summing up that aim does not it seem to be easy to fulfill.
