Article Synopsis
- Molecular diagnosis in allergology, particularly using the ImmunoCAP ISAC 112 microarray, improves identification of specific allergens in patients, enhancing the understanding of their allergies.
- A study conducted in Catalonia assessed this method's impact on diagnosis and treatment (specifically immunotherapy) in young patients with allergic conditions, showing significant shifts in treatment plans.
- Results indicated that over half of the patients (51%) had changes in their immunotherapy prescriptions based on molecular diagnostic findings, suggesting this approach leads to better-targeted treatments.
