Laboratory testing of the patient with multiple chemical sensitivity.

Multiple diagnostic laboratory tests are frequently used in the clinical evaluation of persons with multiple chemical sensitivity without a clear a priori hypothesis. In addition, many of these tests are performed despite a lack of understanding of the test technical performance characteristics or t...

description Multiple diagnostic laboratory tests are frequently used in the clinical evaluation of persons with multiple chemical sensitivity without a clear a priori hypothesis. In addition, many of these tests are performed despite a lack of understanding of the test technical performance characteristics or the clinical significance (test sensitivity and specificity). The result is a plethora of laboratory data that have little clinical relevance and that can be both misleading and misused.
