Summary:Methods We reviewed 5 years of allergy testing at a regional laboratory in Northern New Jersey comparing serum allergy hypersensitivity to A fumigatus with serum allergy hypersensitivity to A niger using the Pharmacia Unicap system. 109 clinical specimens were evaluated using Fisher's exact test as an index of concordance among paired results.
