The Snail IgE allergy test evaluates the sensitivity and allergenicity of molluscan shellfish, specifically snails, which are consumed as exotic dishes. Consumption can lead to allergic reactions ranging from severe respiratory symptoms to anaphylactic shock. Healthcare professionals utilize this test to identify sensitivity and allergenicity, guiding recommendations for allergen immunotherapy.
Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
