The potential role of component resolved diagnosis in circumstances such as the indication of allergen immunotherapy, pollen polysensitization, food allergy, latex allergy or anaphylaxis, is assessed.

It is necessary to evaluate single positivities and negativities, but also to appraise "the big picture" with perspective.
