Bromelain is an enzyme mixture derived from pineapples, known to induce sensitivities leading to type 1 hypersensitivity reactions, producing IgE antibodies. These antibodies cause allergic symptoms from mild gastrointestinal symptoms to atopy or occasionally severe manifestations such as anaphylaxis upon exposure. Healthcare professionals employ this test to assess allergic status and provide guidance for allergen-specific immunotherapy.
Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
