IgE Allergy, Scallop
The scallop allergy test is conducted to assess sensitivity and allergenicity to scallop, which is a bivalve mollusc, whether through consumption or occupational exposure. Allergic reactions to shellfish can induce dermatological and gastrointestinal symptoms in affected individuals. The allergen responsible for these reactions belongs to the Tropomyosin group. Healthcare professionals utilize this test for the […]
IgE Allergy, Sardine
The sardine allergy test is conducted to assess sensitivity and allergenicity to sardine fish, whether through consumption or occupational exposure. Allergic reactions to fish can induce skin, gastrointestinal, and respiratory symptoms in affected individuals. The allergen responsible for these reactions belongs to the parvalbumin group. Healthcare professionals utilize this test for the diagnosis of sensitivity […]
IgE Allergy, Lentil Test
Lentils are edible seeds used in soups and salads. Lentils are implicated in certain types of allergic reactions to pediatric food. Ingestion of cooked lentils has been reported to cause oral allergy syndrome, angioedema, urticaria, asthma and anaphylaxis. This test detects IgE antibodies involved in allergic diseases and identifies triggering allergens causing allergic reactions. Important […]
IgE Allergy, Lemon
Lemon fruit, mainly used in juices and cooking, may sometimes result in food allergies. Cases of severe allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis and anaphylaxis have been reported with lemon hypersensitivity. This test detects specific IgE antibodies involved in allergic diseases, helping identify triggering allergens causing such allergic reactions. Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and […]
IgE Allergy, Lamb
Lamb meat allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction associated with consuming lamb meat or lamb-based products, often caused by tick-associated hypersensitivity reactions. This hypersensitivity reaction is mediated by IgE-mediated responses directed against galactose-a-1,3-galactose, a carbohydrate found in saliva and ticks of all mammals except humans. This test detects specific IgE antibodies causing such allergic reactions. Important […]
IgE Allergy, Kiwi
Kiwi fruits are edible berries that have allergenic proteins with potential cross-reactivity. Allergic reactions to kiwifruit stem from an abnormal immune response to its proteins, manifesting after consumption with symptoms ranging from oral allergy syndrome to anaphylaxis. This test detects specific IgE antibodies to identify allergens causing such allergic reactions. Important note: Minimum volume is […]
IgE Allergy, June Grass
June grass is a perennial grass grown in cold, humid temperate regions and known to produce massive allergenic pollen during the flowering season. Inhalation of such pollens induces allergic reactions such as allergic rhino conjunctivitis and asthma. This test detects specific IgE antibodies involved in triggering allergens causing allergic reactions. Important note: Minimum volume is […]
IgE Allergy, Ginger
The IgE allergy test tailored for ginger evaluates sensitivity and allergic responses, assisting in diagnosing allergies induced by ginger. Symptoms may include dyspnoea, emesis, diarrhoea, etc. The allergen responsible for triggering these reactions is the cysteine proteinase GP-I. Healthcare professionals employ this test to assess sensitization and allergic status in individuals, providing valuable information for […]
Overview of IgE Allergy, Gelatin
The gelatin-specific IgE allergy test gauges sensitivity and allergic responses triggered by gelatin ingestion in food or vaccines. Individuals with IgE to alpha-gal may experience delayed reactions to gelatin-containing foods like marshmallows or jelly babies. Healthcare professionals employ this test to assess sensitization and allergic status in individuals, guiding the implementation of immunotherapy. Important note: […]
IgE Allergy, Elm
Elm, a member of the Ulmaceae family, is a wind-pollinated deciduous tree that produces pollen allergens eliciting type IgE hypersensitivity on exposure through nasal inhalation manifesting with nasal symptoms of rhinitis, ocular allergy, pneumonitis, anaphylaxis, atopic dermatitis, and exacerbation of bronchial asthma. Healthcare providers utilize this diagnostic tool to ascertain patients’ allergenicity and provide guidance […]
