We evaluated the diagnostic value of glass microfiber-based histamine release test (HRT) in 25 cases of allergic conjunctival diseases. This method allowed measurement using a small amount of the whole blood. The series comprised allergic conjunctivitis 9 cases, vernal keratoconjunctivitis 9 cases and atopic keratoconjunctivitis 7 cases. The cases were also evaluated by radioallergosorbent test (RAST) and conjunctival provocation test (CPT). The concordance of HRT with RAST ranged between 72% and 90%. The concordance and positive predictive value of HRT with CPT were 85% and 78% respectively and those with RAST were 70% and 55%. The sensitivity of RAST was higher than that of HRT. The findings show that RAST is useful in the screening of allergens and that HRT is useful in identifying the clinical allergens.
