EPI

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care HYPERSENSITIVITY TESTING
Hypersensitivity test results for a 20-year-old female patient, in Mexico.
Tests for different pollen, foodstuff, fungi, animals, insects. (Section headers in Spanish and detailed test in English).
Two results columns headed EPI and PID, with results only entered in column headed EPI.
Results handwritten and appear to be entered as +++ (could be H+), ++ (could be H) and C/S (unresolved).
Other documents include receipts for medication including U/FINE, SINGULAIR, ALLEGRA, FLORATIL, ILIADIN, VICK IHALER, NASALUB MAX, PENAMOX.
Insurance claim with no other information available.
Does anyone have any idea what the acronym EPI indicates (as results are only given for this)?
Cheers, John.

Note from asker:
Many thanks for the suggestion and explanation which appears to fit. I was thinking it was an acronym - didn't think of the abbreviation. Best regards, John
Peer comment(s):
agree Charles Davis : This looks very plausible, but what does EPI stand for? // Ah! Right, thanks. That seems to fit
