Hi,

Can you mention his symptoms? Why you are suspecting allergy? Allergic testing has limited role in diagnosing allergic disease- it tests only commonly implicated antigens.

Depending on the type of allergy in a particular individual, test may negative even in presence of disease, and one can be allergic to an antigen not covered in the test panel. kindly get back with details of his symptoms, so that i can guide accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
