The Basophil Activation Test (BAT) is an innovative method for diagnosing allergic reactions to medications. It helps detect allergies to various drugs, including dental and other anesthetics, contrast agents, antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as platinum compounds used in chemotherapy.

The test allows assessment of the risk of developing severe allergic reactions such as angioedema, urticaria, and anaphylactic shock. These reactions can occur from a few seconds up to 12 hours after exposure to the allergen.
