IgE Allergy, Animal Panel 1: Dander (cat, horse, cow, dog)
Individuals exposed to pet animals are known to develop pet dander allergies as they inhale tiny, airborne particles of pet dander. Dander particles can settle on surfaces and remain in the environment for extended periods, subjecting them to prolonged exposure. Sensitization is observed mostly in children and adolescents. Healthcare providers utilize this test to determine […]
IgE Allergy, Ampicillin
Ampicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the penicillin group, commonly used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory, gastrointestinal, or soft tissue infections. Ampicillin is capable of inducing type 1 hypersensitivity reactions. Drug sensitization occurs through oral administration and presents as urticaria, angioedema, rhinitis, bronchospasm, hypotension, and anaphylaxis. IgE evaluation helps healthcare professionals assess […]
IgE Allergy, Amoxicillin
Amoxicillin is a commonly used semi-synthetic broad-spectrum penicillin. The β-lactam ring of penicillin is reactive and covalently binds to proteins, thereby forming hapten-carrier conjugates capable of inducing type 1 hypersensitivity reactions. Sensitization occurs through oral administration and presents as urticaria, rhinitis, bronchospasm, maculopapular exanthema, and anaphylaxis. IgE evaluation helps healthcare professionals assess antibiotic allergies and […]
IgE Allergy, Alternaria tenuis
A. alternata, a cosmopolitan saprophyte, is considered one of the most significant sources of fungal allergens worldwide, and it is linked with severe asthma and respiratory status. Among the A. alternata allergens, Alt a 1 is the main sensitizing allergen, and it is useful for healthcare professionals in diagnosing and recommending immunotherapy. Important note: […]
IgE Allergy, Alpha-lactalbumin
Allergy to alpha-lactalbumin, a protein present in milk, can trigger an immune response in sensitized individuals presenting as Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions presenting as atopic skin reactions, hives, itching, gastrointestinal symptoms, vomiting, and nausea. Respiratory symptoms like a sore throat, coughing, and wheezing can occur. Severe cases present as anaphylaxis. Healthcare providers utilize this test […]
IgE Allergy, Almond
Almonds are tree nuts that are frequently consumed in several parts of the world and represent a potential allergenic hazard. It has amandin, or Pru du 6, 11S globulin, a major storage protein, as well as a major allergen showing sensitization by food consumption. It might lead to type 1 hypersensitivity or intolerance causing food […]
IgE Allergy, Alder
Alder is one of the crucial contributors to pollinosis and induces respiratory allergic reactions such as rhinitis, rhinoconjunctivitis, and bronchial asthma. The primary route of exposure for this pollen is through inhalation. Healthcare professionals use this test to determine allergic status, assess sensitivity, and guide allergen-specific immunotherapy. Important note: Minimum volume is 1 […]
IgE Allergy, Acremonium kiliense
Acremonium kiliense, a type of saprophytic mold or fungus, can contaminate air, surfaces, and drinking water. Exposure to Acremonium has been specifically linked with a range of respiratory and cutaneous allergic symptoms, including allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonia, allergic alveolitis, and atopic dermatitis. Healthcare providers employ this test to diagnose sensitivity and provide guidance […]
IgE Allergy, Acarus siro
Acarus siro belongs to the Acaridae family of storage mites, popularly known as the flour or grain mite. Conventionally linked with occupational exposure in rural workers, storage mites have been more recently associated with non-occupational sensitization in urban environments, causing asthma, contact dermatitis, and rhinoconjunctivitis. Healthcare providers employ this test to diagnose sensitivity and provide […]
IgE Allergy, Garlic
The garlic-specific IgE allergy test assesses sensitivity and allergic reactions, aiding in diagnosing garlic-induced allergies with manifestations such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, or atopic dermatitis. Diallyl disulfide is the allergen that triggers an allergic reaction. Healthcare professionals utilize this test to evaluate sensitization and allergic status in individuals, guiding the implementation of immunotherapy. Important […]
