    • Comorbidities affecting risk/interpretation: [Asthma control status, dermatologic conditions, mast cell disorders, or "None"]
  • Medication Screen:
    • Antihistamines/interfering medications withheld per protocol: [Yes / No / Partial - specify details]
    • Potential impact if not withheld: [Impact statement or "N/A"]
    • Beta-blocker use: [Present / Absent / Unknown]; risk mitigation: [Plan or "N/A"]
    • ACE inhibitor use: [Present / Absent / Unknown]; risk mitigation: [Plan or "N/A"]
  • Baseline Assessment:
    • Vitals: HR [__], BP [__/__], RR [__], SpO2 [__%] (If not obtained, state "Not obtained")
    • Respiratory status: [Stable / Cough / Wheeze / Increased work of breathing / Not assessed] (Include for patients with asthma or wheezing history)
  • Consent: Informed consent obtained: [Verbal / Written per local policy / Not documented]

Test Methodology

  • Test Type: [Intradermal single-dose / Sequential/incremental intradermal (dilutional) / Skin endpoint titration]; Protocol: [Standard clinic / Venom-specific / Drug-specific / Other]
  • Controls: Positive control: [Agent, concentration]; Negative control: [Diluent type]. Controls placed concurrently with allergen testing.
  • Allergen Extracts:
    Allergen (standardized name) Manufacturer Lot # Expiration Base concentration/units
    [Allergen name] [Manufacturer] [Lot #] [MM/YYYY] [Units]
  • Dilution Schema: (Include only when sequential/incremental testing performed; otherwise omit)
    • Labeling method: [D1–D6 / 1:10 serial / BAU stepwise / Other]
    • Starting dilution and rationale: [Dilution and reason]
    • Step increment rule: [Increment description]
    • Interval between steps: [Minutes]
    • Maximum concentration planned: [Value and units]
  • Technique: Test site(s): [Site(s) with laterality]; Injection volume: [Volume per test]; Read time: [Minutes]
  • Measurement Method: Wheal recorded as [Largest diameter / Mean of orthogonal diameters]; Erythema [Measured / Not measured]; Positivity criteria: [Clinic-specific thresholds]

Procedure Notes

(Include only if procedure differed from standard protocol; otherwise omit this section entirely)

  • Deviation: [Description]
  • Justification: [Reason]

Results

Control Results

Control Agent/Concentration Wheal (mm) Erythema (mm) Validity
Positive [Agent, concentration] [__] [__] [Acceptable / Suboptimal / Invalid]
Negative [Diluent] [__] [__] [Non-reactive / Reactive]

(If controls are invalid, state that results may be uninterpretable)

Allergen Results – Intradermal (single-dose)

(Include only if single-dose intradermal testing performed)

Allergen Concentration Wheal (mm) Erythema (mm) Result Comments
[Allergen name] [Concentration] [__] [__] [Positive / Negative / Equivocal] [Technical issues or "None"]

Allergen Results – Sequential/Incremental (dilutional series)

(Include only if sequential/incremental testing performed)

Allergen Dilution Step Concentration Wheal (mm) Erythema (mm) Result
[Allergen name] [Step label] [Concentration] [__] [__] [Positive / Negative / Equivocal]

Endpoint Determination

(Include only when endpoint/threshold testing performed; otherwise omit)

  • Endpoint definition used: [Clinic definition]
  • Endpoint achieved: [Allergen and dilution/concentration, or "None achieved up to maximum concentration"]
  • Confirmation at next stronger dilution: [Yes / No / N/A]

Interpretation

  • Test Validity: [Interpretable / Limited / Not interpretable]; Controls acceptable: [Yes / No]; Limitations: [Medication interference / Dermatographism / Poor control response / Technical issues / None]
  • Summary of Findings:
    • Positive responses: [List allergens and concentrations]
    • Negative responses: [List allergens tested]
    • Endpoints determined: [List or "N/A"]
  • Clinical Correlation: [Narrative correlating results with patient history; distinguish sensitization from clinical allergy; acknowledge limitations; state if results guide immunotherapy or other treatment decisions; include recommended next steps as appropriate]

Safety and Adverse Events

  • Monitoring: [Continuous / Intermittent]; Vitals rechecked: [Yes / No]; Symptoms during testing: [None / Description]
  • Adverse Events: [None / Description including:]
    • Onset time: [Minutes post-injection]
