A member asked:
I wanna know if it's possible to have a positive skin test for les and almost all the symptoms and a negative blood test for the disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What is LES?: Please clarify. If you mean skin test for allergens, then skin test is usually more sensitive than the blood test for specific ige. Thus you may well have a positive st and negative blood test.
