Abstract
We describe a case of formaldehyde-induced urticaria with a positive test result for serum IgE antibody against this substance. Formaldehyde's slow protein-binding property may explain why basophil histamine-release tests using fresh formaldehyde solutions are not diagnostic, whereas the tests are useful if formaldehyde that had been stored with albumin is used.Entities:
