The prevalence of allergies fo specific foods is unknown for the most part. Good estimates exist of the prevalence of milk allergy in infancy (Hosf and Halken, 1990) and peanut and tree nut allergy throughout the life span (Sicherer et ah, 1999). However, the prevalence of allergies to seafoods including molluscan shellfish is not precisely known.

Usually the APT has been used to diagnose delayed reactions in children with cow s milk allergy, atopic dermatitis, and for identification of causative food in eosinophilic esophagitis (Turnjamaa et al., 2006). 

Patch tests were positive in 89% of children with delayed-onset reactions, with challenge-proven milk allergy. In children with atopic dermatitis, the combination of positive patch tests with evidence of slgE or positive PST had the highest positive predictive value (see Table 3.3.7) (Roehr et al., 2001). 

The leukocyte migration inhibition test has been suggested to be a reliable test in cow s milk allergy but has been shown to be quite unspecific in other conditions (Kaczmarski et al. 1997).
