The IgE allergy test for thyme is utilized to detect sensitivity and allergenicity to the herb derived from thyme. Ingestion commonly leads to symptoms such as angioedema, anaphylaxis, and contact dermatitis. Cross-reactivity is observed with other Labiatae species. Healthcare professionals employ this test to diagnose sensitivity, establish allergic status, and provide guidance for allergen-specific immunotherapy.
Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
