For allergists from all around the world, the fact of the increase in the prevalence of allergic diseases, both among children and adults, has long been obvious. The detection, diagnosis and treatment of this pathology are increasingly being pursued by doctors of related specialties – family medicine, pulmonologists, ENT and others. However, the main difference of the allergist from the above specialties has always been, is and will be the use of specific methods of diagnosis and treatment. Despite the development of serological and component-resolved methods for diagnosing of sensitization, the most important role of the primary test of the first level still belong to skin prick testing (SPT) [1, 2]. Obviously, SPT is not only a minimally invasive, fast, specific test, but also the most accessible to the population of our country at a cost. The main difficulties in using this method are due to two reasons – the assessment should be carried out by a specially trained specialists and the sensitivity of the test due to a number of factors may sometimes not be very high. Among laboratory serological tests in vitro, western-blotting is one of the most common and available. The obvious advantages of this investigation are low invasiveness, independence from drug history, the possibility of use in pediatric practice and objectivity. However, the specificity of the test and expensiveness sometimes limit its scope. In the practice of the clinician, sometimes there are cases of dissonance of the results of examinations by these methods, which is associated with a number of factors [3, 4]. Thermography has found wide application in various areas of human life – construction, veterinary medicine, and medicine. Application of the method in medical practice is especially valuable in sports medicine, early diagnosis of breast cancer, and problems with the thyroid gland. Using thermography can help optimize SPT assessment, increasing its objectivity [5]. The aim of our investigation was to study aspects of the use of medical thermography to evaluate the results of skin testing with allergen solutions in patients with allergic rhinitis in comparison with the western-blot method.
