Skin Prick Test (SPT)
Skin Prick Test (SPT) is a widely used, safe, and reliable diagnostic procedure performed at Moolchand Hospital, one of the best hospitals in Delhi for allergy and dermatology care. It is primarily used to detect immediate (Type I, IgE-mediated) hypersensitivity reactions to various allergens including medications, food substances, environmental allergens, and latex.
During the procedure, a small amount of suspected allergen is placed on the surface of the skin, usually on the forearm or back. The skin is then gently pricked using a sterile lancet, allowing the allergen to enter the superficial layer of the skin. If the patient is allergic, a localized reaction such as redness, swelling (wheal), or itching appears within 15–20 minutes.
Skin Prick Test is commonly used in drug allergy evaluation protocols, typically conducted several weeks after the allergic episode to ensure accuracy and patient safety. It helps dermatologists and allergy specialists identify the exact causative agent, enabling precise avoidance strategies and safe future treatment planning.
At Moolchand Hospital, a leading multi super speciality hospital in Lajpat Nagar, this test is performed under expert supervision with emergency preparedness protocols in place, ensuring patient safety and diagnostic accuracy. The procedure is quick, cost-effective, and provides immediate results, making it an essential tool in allergy diagnosis.
Our team of globally acclaimed super specialists has pioneered several skin prick test (spt) surgeries.
