Brazilian peppertree, an invasive plant found in various regions, can sometimes trigger a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction on exposure to its allergen producing IgE antibodies. Allergic symptoms range from mild rhinitis, rhinoconjunctivitis, and atopy to severe manifestations such as anaphylaxis. IgE antibody estimation helps healthcare professionals identify susceptible individuals, suggest avoidance measures, and recommend preventing allergic responses to Brazilian peppertree.
Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
