About the test

Specific IgE consists of antibodies to a particular allergen. Before ordering this entry, it is necessary to clarify which specific allergen is offered and will be tested: the name “other allergens” does not define a fixed panel.

The presence of specific IgE indicates sensitisation, but not always clinical allergy. The result is compared with symptoms upon exposure; it cannot independently predict the severity of a future reaction.

Why it is ordered

  • Assess IgE sensitisation to the selected available allergen.
  • Complement a targeted allergy investigation.

How to prepare

Before taking the test, ask the laboratory about preparation and specimen collection requirements. Tell your doctor about medicines and recent treatment. Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own.
