Cheese is a milk product that contains casein as the main milk allergen. It leads to Type 1 IgE hypersensitivity on ingestion, contact, or inhalation. Allergic reactions lead to a range of respiratory and cutaneous conditions, including gastroenteritis, rhinitis, asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonia, anaphylaxis, and atopic dermatitis. IgE estimation helps healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and planning of therapeutic interventions.
Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
