[The PIPET or Patient Individual Plate Easy Test].

The fresh outbreak of allergies and especially that increasingly early for food or even for new pneumallergens (sensitization already in utero) pushes us to test increasingly various and many allergens in children. The insufficiency of compliance of certain children to allergic skin tests encouraged us to seek new diagnostic methods. In our office we developed a new method of diagnosis by multipuncture, individualized and easily adaptable to each child. It is about a fast and reproductible prick-test which avoids stains and smudges due to the application of drops directly on the skin. It makes it possible to initially place easily all the tests on a plate (PIPET or Patient Individual Plate Easy Test) then on the skin by a multipuncture method. The tests can even already be prepared in the days which precede, provided that the plates are put in the fridge, with the name of the patient and the allergens used, for memory. It is about a rigorous test, reliable and careful, easy to carry out even in the most difficult children.
