| Drug | Test concentration | Reaction | Wheal diameter (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal saline (negative control) | — | Negative (−) | 5 |
| Morphine (positive control) | 10 μg/mL | Positive (+, papule enlargement with erythema) | 10 |
| Propofol 1% | 1 mg/mL | Negative (−) | 5 |
| Propofol 2% | 1 mg/mL | Negative (−) | 5 |
