This allergy test is good if you suspect an allergy to one or more of the most common allergens that cause allergic reactions. This allergy panel includes egg whites, cow's milk, peanuts and mustard. The test is performed by taking a blood sample which is then analyzed to measure the levels of IgE antibodies against each allergen. By testing you, you can identify the allergens that can cause allergic reactions and can thus take appropriate measures to avoid them and reduce your symptoms.
Detailed test results for each allergen
