IgE Allergy, Fig

General Info:

Description:

The IgE allergy test for Fig is performed to diagnose allergies related to the false fruit of Ficus carica. The majority of allergic reactions stem from cross-sensitization to the weeping fig, particularly in cases of Latex-fruit syndrome. Clinically, these allergies often manifest as Oral Allergy Syndrome. Healthcare professionals employ this test to identify sensitization, guiding appropriate treatment.
