Maleic Anhydride, widely used in producing paints, varnishes, insecticides, and plastic coatings, poses occupational risks. Exposure may lead to direct irritant effects and sensitization, causing occupational hypersensitivity and asthma. The associated test identifies specific IgE antibodies linked to allergic diseases, aiding in pinpointing allergens responsible for triggering allergic reactions, particularly relevant in occupational settings.
Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
