IgE Allergy: Chestnut
Chestnut is a widely distributed tree known to produce profuse, highly mobile pollen that spreads vigorously in the environment. Pollen exposure can happen through inhalation or direct exposure. IgE hypersensitivity has been reported to cause rhinitis, rhinoconjunctivitis, urticaria, and angioedema. Individuals with suspected chestnut allergies are recommended by healthcare professionals to test IgE levels for […]
IgE Allergy: Cheese and Mold Type
Cheese-ripening rooms provide an exceptional environment for the growth of several undesirable molds. It can induce food or inhalant allergens, leading to Type 1 IgE hypersensitivity, which manifests as gastric and respiratory as well as cutaneous allergic conditions including allergic rhinitis, asthma, anaphylaxis, and atopic dermatitis. IgE estimation helps healthcare professionals with diagnosis, immunotherapy, and exposure prevention.
IgE Allergy: Cheese and Cheddar Types
Cheese is a milk product that contains casein as the main milk allergen. It leads to Type 1 IgE hypersensitivity on ingestion, contact, or inhalation. Allergic reactions lead to a range of respiratory and cutaneous conditions, including gastroenteritis, rhinitis, asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonia, anaphylaxis, and atopic dermatitis. IgE estimation helps healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and […]
IgE Allergy: Chaetomium globosum
Chaetomium globosum is a saprophytic ascomycete fungus and hydrophilic mold found in soil, plant debris, and water-damaged buildings. It is known for mycotoxin production and allergens causing Type 1 IgE hypersensitivity in respiratory and cutaneous allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonia, and atopic dermatitis. IgE estimation helps healthcare professionals with diagnosis and […]
IgE Allergy: Cephalosporium acremonium
Cephalosporium acremonium, a saprophytic fungus mold, can spread to humans through air, materials, and drinking water. Exposure can occur through inhalation, contact, and ingestion, leading to Type 1 IgE hypersensitivity and a range of respiratory and cutaneous allergic conditions, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonia, allergic alveolitis, anaphylaxis, and atopic dermatitis. IgE estimation helps healthcare […]
IgE Allergy: Cauliflower
Cauliflower is a commonly utilized vegetable that is cultivated and domesticated using its modified flowers for cooking. Allergen Bra-o-3 is involved in causing Type 1 IgE hypersensitivity, causing gastrointestinal and nasal symptoms, atopy, and anaphylaxis. IgE estimation helps healthcare professionals in diagnosis, suggesting dietary restriction of cauliflower and therapeutic management. Important note: Minimum volume […]
IgE Allergy: Cat Dander Epithelium
Cat dander epithelium produces allergens such as lipocalins (Fel-d-4) and uteroglobins (Fel-d-1) that are often spread in the air as tiny particles, causing sensitization in humans to elicit type 1 hypersensitivity reactions, producing IgE antibodies. These antibodies cause allergic reactions, predominantly bronchial asthma, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, gastrointestinal symptoms, atopy, or occasionally anaphylaxis. IgE levels help healthcare […]
IgE Allergy: Castor Bean
Caster bean seeds and pollens can act as allergens and are known to develop sensitivity. Castor bean allergen-1 (CB1A) is the main allergen of the castor bean. Clinically, these allergens can induce mild rhinitis, conjunctivitis, gastrointestinal symptoms, atopy, or occasionally anaphylaxis. Healthcare professionals use this test to assess allergy status and guide allergen-specific immunotherapy. […]
IgE Allergy: Cashew
Cashew nuts are commonly consumed in an array of forms, such as raw, roasted, etc. Cashew nuts are known to have allergen proteins Ana-o-1, Ana-o-2 and Ana-o-3 which produce severe allergic reactions. Clinically, these allergens can induce gastrointestinal symptoms such as atopy or occasionally severe anaphylaxis. Testing IgE levels helps healthcare providers diagnose and guide […]
IgE Allergy: Casein
Casein, a major protein present in milk and cheese, acts as an allergen. Sensitization can lead to type 1 hypersensitivity reactions, producing IgE antibodies. Clinically, these allergens can induce mild gastrointestinal symptoms, atopy, or occasionally severe anaphylaxis. Healthcare professionals use this test to determine allergic status and guide allergen-specific immunotherapy. Important note: Minimum volume […]
