Delayed skin allergy

Using various allergens as skin tests for patients can determine whether the subject is allergic to a certain allergen to explore and clarify the cause. In addition, a skin test can be performed after immunizing with an antigen to test the subject's ability to respond to antigen-specific cellular immunity. These tests can only be qualitative and not quantitative.
