Scenario:you are a doctor and your patient is complaining of hives, congestion, itchy eyes, and other symptoms of allergies. Which test would you order for your patient?

A	Skin biopsy
B	Patch test
C	Skin culture
D	X-ray

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Patch tests are used by healthcare providers to determine the specific cause of contact dermatitis, and are manufactured from natural substances or chemicals (such as nickel, rubber, and fragrance mixes) that are known to cause contact dermatitis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Various tests can be used to find out what kind of substance is causing an allergic reaction: skin tests, blood tests and provocation tests. Your doctor will usually decide which test to use based on your description of the symptoms and your medical history.

Detailed explanation-3: -The blood usually has small amounts of IgE antibodies. Higher amounts can be a sign that the body overreacts to allergens, which can lead to an allergic reaction. IgE levels can also be high when the body is fighting an infection from a parasite and from some immune system conditions.
