pediatric allergy panel

This test detects IgE antibodies specific to mare (horse) milk, measuring your immune system's allergic response to this protein. IgE is an antibody your body produces when it identifies a substance as a threat, even if it's harmless. A positive result indicates a mare milk allergy, which can cause symptoms ranging from mild itching and swelling to severe anaphylaxis. This test is useful for diagnosing food allergies in people who consume mare milk products, which are popular in some cultures and alternative medicine practices.

This test measures IgE antibodies against wheat dust, relevant for people with occupational wheat exposure or wheat allergies. Elevated IgE indicates an allergic sensitization to wheat proteins. Wheat allergies differ from celiac disease; allergies cause immediate immune reactions while celiac is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten. Symptoms can range from itching and swelling to severe anaphylaxis. This test helps identify wheat allergies in symptomatic individuals, particularly important for workers in grain and flour industries, bakers, and others with high wheat exposure.

This test detects IgE antibodies against sheep milk proteins, indicating allergic sensitization to sheep dairy products. Unlike cow milk, sheep milk is less common in typical diets but found in specialty cheeses and yogurts. People with cow milk allergies may also react to sheep milk due to protein similarities, though some tolerate it better. Elevated sheep milk-specific IgE suggests risk of allergic reactions with potential symptoms ranging from mild (itching, hives) to severe (anaphylaxis). This test is particularly relevant if you consume specialty dairy products or have unexplained allergic symptoms after eating sheep dairy.

This test detects IgE antibodies to wheat bran, the outer layer of wheat grain, indicating an immediate-type allergic reaction. A positive result suggests that consuming wheat bran products could trigger allergic symptoms ranging from mild itching in the mouth to severe reactions like anaphylaxis. Wheat bran allergy is distinct from celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, representing a true IgE-mediated food allergy. This test helps confirm wheat bran allergy diagnosis in individuals with suspected reactions, guiding dietary avoidance of wheat bran-containing foods and products.

This test detects IgE antibodies against dander from multiple animals—cats, cows, dogs, and horses. Animal dander allergies are common and can cause symptoms ranging from mild (sneezing, itchy eyes) to severe (asthma attacks, anaphylaxis). A positive result on this panel test indicates sensitivity to one or more of these animals. Further testing may pinpoint which specific animal(s) trigger your allergies, helping you make informed decisions about pet ownership or occupational exposure.

This test detects IgE antibodies against eggplant allergens, indicating a potential food allergy. Eggplant allergies are relatively uncommon but can cause oral itching, swelling, or gastrointestinal symptoms in sensitive individuals. Some people with eggplant sensitivity may also react to related plants in the nightshade family, such as tomatoes or peppers. A positive result helps you identify this vegetable as a trigger and guides dietary planning. It's useful for distinguishing true allergies from other digestive sensitivities.

This panel test screens for IgE antibodies against common animal danders from cats, cows, dogs, and horses using a multi-disk format for efficiency. The qualitative results indicate whether you have allergic sensitization to these animals. Animal allergies are among the most common allergens, causing symptoms like sneezing, congestion, itching, and asthma exacerbation. Positive results help identify which animals trigger symptoms and guide decisions about pet ownership and exposure avoidance.

This test detects antibodies indicating allergic sensitivity specifically to boiled cow's milk. Boiling milk changes some proteins, so some individuals may react to boiled milk but tolerate raw or pasteurized milk, or vice versa. A positive result suggests potential allergic reactions when consuming boiled milk products. Milk allergies are distinct from lactose intolerance and can trigger immune responses ranging from mild to severe.

This quantitative test measures the level of IgE antibodies against goat milk proteins. Goat milk allergy is distinct from cow milk allergy, though cross-reactivity can occur. Symptoms may include itching, hives, gastrointestinal upset, or respiratory reactions after goat milk or goat cheese consumption. A positive result indicates IgE-mediated goat milk allergy. This test is useful for individuals exploring alternative milks due to suspected cow milk allergy or those experiencing reactions after goat dairy product consumption.

This test detects IgE antibodies against cultivated wheat pollen in your blood, indicating allergic sensitivity to wheat pollen exposure. Wheat pollen allergies cause seasonal allergy symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes, typically during wheat-growing and harvesting seasons. This differs from wheat food allergies or celiac disease, which involve different mechanisms. A positive result confirms wheat pollen allergy and helps you anticipate seasonal symptoms and use preventive treatments during high pollen periods.

This test detects IgE antibodies specific to buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), indicating your immune system's allergic response to this grain. A positive result suggests a potential IgE-mediated buckwheat allergy, which could trigger symptoms from mild oral itching to severe reactions. Buckwheat is used in some flours, noodles, and baked goods. This test helps confirm suspected buckwheat allergies and identifies cross-reactivity risks with related allergens.

This test detects IgE antibodies specifically against egg yolk proteins in your blood, indicating a potential allergy to this part of the egg. Egg yolk allergies are distinct from egg white allergies and may occur alone or together. A positive result suggests your immune system reacts to egg yolk, causing allergic symptoms ranging from mild itching to severe reactions. This test helps identify egg yolk sensitivity and guides dietary choices, medication selection, and meal planning.

This test detects IgE antibodies to milk proteins in your blood, indicating a potential IgE-mediated milk allergy. Milk allergy is an immune system reaction to milk proteins and differs from lactose intolerance, which is a digestive issue. A positive result suggests your immune system may trigger an allergic reaction upon milk exposure, potentially causing symptoms ranging from mild itching and hives to severe anaphylaxis. This test is essential for confirming true milk allergy and distinguishing it from other milk-related sensitivities.

This test detects IgE antibodies against peanut allergens in your blood. Peanut allergy is one of the most common and potentially dangerous food allergies, capable of causing anaphylaxis—a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction. A positive result indicates a peanut allergy that typically persists throughout life. This test is crucial for confirming suspected peanut allergies and guides strict avoidance, emergency preparedness with epinephrine auto-injectors, and awareness of cross-contamination risks.
