The scallop allergy test is conducted to assess sensitivity and allergenicity to scallop, which is a bivalve mollusc, whether through consumption or occupational exposure. Allergic reactions to shellfish can induce dermatological and gastrointestinal symptoms in affected individuals. The allergen responsible for these reactions belongs to the Tropomyosin group. Healthcare professionals utilize this test for the diagnosis of sensitivity and allergenicity, providing guidance for allergen-specific immunotherapy.
Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
