The shrimp allergy test is performed to evaluate sensitivity and allergenicity to one of the most common food allergy caused by the shellfish, specifically shrimp, whether through consumption or occupational exposure. Allergic reactions to shrimp can lead to symptoms such as urticaria, pruritis, gastrointestinal issues, respiratory symptoms, and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. Healthcare professionals use this test to diagnose sensitivity and allergenicity, offering guidance for allergen-specific immunotherapy.
Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
