SPT to a saline slurry (1/20 weight/volume) of candied jujube resulted in a wheal and flare response (W&F) with longest diameters of 5 mm and 25 mm (5 x 25 mm), respectively, with appropriate controls (Fig. 1).

SPT through dried jujube soaked in normal saline and applied on the forearm caused a W&F reaction measuring 5 x 15 mm; W&F response to histamine was 6 x 30 mm and to saline control was 1 x 4 mm. (Figure 3). Specific IgE to Indian jujube was not available.
