Clinical Significance

Allergy Evaluation 3, Subtropical -

This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to 10 common environmental allergens in the subtropical region of the United States. 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].
