Flow‐based basophil activation test in immediate drug hypersensitivity. An EAACI task force position paper

Allergy, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 580-600, March 2024.
Abstract Diagnosing immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions (IDHRs) can pose a significant challenge and there is an urgent need for safe and reliable tests. Evidence has emerged that the basophil activation test (BAT), an in vitro assay that mirrors the in vivo response, can be a complementary test for many drugs.
