Clinical Significance
Respiratory Allergy Profile Region XIV: CA, central valley - This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to environmental allergens that are commonly associated with allergies in central valley areas of California. Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation [1].
