Conjunctival Provocation Test (CPT) – useful tool in diagnostic not only of eye allergic diseases
Main Article Content
Abstract
Authors on the ground literature review have tried to sum up knowledge on usefulness of conjunctival provocation test with an allergen. They have shown that it may be useful among other things as: the diagnostic tool, evaluation method of immunotherapy effectiveness, model to investigation of allergic inflammation, the tool to identification of causing factor in different allergic diseases, also professional ones.
