The delayed reaction appears first and is followed a week later by an immediate reaction. During the further course of the immunization the delayed reaction disappears and then the immediate reaction. On the other hand, in immunization (desensitization) of an allergically hypersensitive (atopic) person there is no delayed reaction, and only a slight diminution of the primary immediate reaction is observed.
