Hypersensitivity intradermal testing in a female baboon (Papio anubis)

This case report demonstrates the application of an allergy test to an adult female olive baboon with presumed environmental allergies, most likely to cedar and/or pine. Although antihistamine therapy adequately controlled symptoms, allergy testing was desired as the first step toward possible hyposensitivity therapy and the ability to discontinue daily administration of medications.
