Abstract

De zogenaamde ‘memory lymphocyte immunostimulation assay’ (MELISA) wordt aangeprezen als een test waarmee allergie voor metalen zoals kwik, nikkel, goud, cadmium en palladium kan worden aangetoond. De test is ontwikkeld door Stejskal et al. in Zweden en in 1994 gepubliceerd.1 In een vervolgartikel in 1999 beschreven Stejskal et al. de toepassing van de test bij meer dan 3000 patiënten die klachten hadden over afwijkingen in de mond of die algemene symptomen hadden die leken op chronische vermoeidheid.2 Verwijdering van tandvullingen bestaande uit amalgaam of andere metalen leidde volgens de auteurs bij de meerderheid van de patiënten tot vermindering van de klachten. Een herhaling van de test liet zien dat de metaalallergie daarna ook verminderd was.
