Allergic reactions to inhaled allergens are common causes of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and conjunctivitis.

The test measures IgE antibodies specific to common airborne allergens.

Clinical uses include:

Identifying triggering allergens in patients with respiratory symptoms.

Supporting diagnosis of seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis.

Evaluating asthma patients for allergen sensitivity.

Guiding allergen avoidance strategies and immunotherapy.

Can be performed as serological IgE testing or skin prick testing depending on clinical setting.

Analyte: Allergen‑specific IgE antibodies in serum.

Common Allergens Tested:

House dust mites

Pollens (grass, tree, weed)

Animal dander (cats, dogs)

Molds and fungi

Cockroach allergens

Normal Result: Negative (no allergen‑specific IgE detected).

Abnormal Findings:

Positive allergen‑specific IgE: Indicates sensitization to the allergen.

Multiple positives: Suggests poly‑sensitization, often seen in asthma or severe allergic rhinitis.

Clinical Use:

Provides a diagnostic marker for inhalation allergies.

Helps guide environmental control and immunotherapy.

Supports personalized allergy management.
