Shellfish Allergy Panel

This test measures IgE antibodies against oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), a commonly consumed edible mushroom. Elevated IgE indicates a mushroom allergy, meaning your immune system reacts to oyster mushroom proteins. Mushroom allergies can cause oral itching, swelling, or more severe allergic reactions. This test helps identify mushroom allergies in people experiencing allergic symptoms after mushroom consumption, enabling dietary avoidance and appropriate medical management of allergic reactions.

This test detects IgG antibodies against lobster (Homarus gammarus), a shellfish allergen. Unlike IgE antibodies associated with immediate allergic reactions, IgG indicates past or ongoing exposure and possible sensitivity. While less specific than IgE for acute allergies, IgG detection may help identify delayed immune responses or chronic sensitivities to lobster.

This test quantifies IgE antibodies against spiny lobster allergen. Shellfish allergies, including lobster, can trigger reactions ranging from mild oral symptoms to severe anaphylaxis. The test measures the level of allergic sensitization to this specific crustacean allergen. People with spiny lobster allergies should be aware of cross-reactivity with other shellfish and may need to avoid multiple crustaceans. The quantitative result helps assess severity of sensitization.

This test detects IgE antibodies against blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) proteins, indicating shellfish allergy. Blue mussels are bivalve mollusks, and their proteins can trigger immediate allergic reactions in susceptible people. Mussel allergy symptoms range from mild (mouth itching, hives) to severe (anaphylaxis). Cross-reactivity among shellfish species is common, so a positive mussel result may indicate broader shellfish allergy. This test helps confirm shellfish allergy and guides avoidance strategies, which is critical for food safety and potential anaphylaxis risk.

This test detects IgE antibodies against clam proteins in your blood, identifying a potential allergic sensitivity to clams. IgE antibodies are produced by your immune system when it encounters a substance it perceives as threatening. A positive result suggests your body may react to clam consumption, potentially causing allergic symptoms ranging from mild itching or swelling to severe reactions. This test is useful for confirming clam allergy suspicions and guiding dietary choices.

This test detects IgE antibodies against oyster proteins, indicating a potential shellfish allergy. Your immune system produces these antibodies when exposed to oyster allergens. A positive result suggests you may have an allergic reaction to oysters, ranging from mild symptoms like itching to severe reactions. This test confirms suspected oyster allergies and helps you make informed dietary choices.

This test detects IgE antibodies against scallop protein, identifying allergic sensitivity to this shellfish. Scallops contain allergens that can trigger immune reactions ranging from mild oral itching to severe anaphylaxis. Cross-reactivity with other shellfish is common in shellfish-allergic individuals. A positive result helps confirm a scallop allergy and warns of potential reactions to related seafood. This test guides safe dietary choices for shellfish-sensitive individuals.

This test detects IgE antibodies to lobster in your blood, indicating a potential shellfish allergy. Lobster is a crustacean, and its proteins can trigger IgE-mediated allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Shellfish allergy is one of the most common food allergies in adults, with symptoms ranging from oral itching and hives to severe anaphylaxis. A positive result indicates a true immune-mediated lobster allergy. Cross-reactivity with other shellfish is common, so related testing may be recommended.

This test detects IgE antibodies against crab proteins, indicating a potential shellfish allergy. Crab allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to specific crab proteins and can trigger reactions ranging from mild oral itching to severe anaphylaxis. Shellfish allergies are among the most common food allergies in adults. A positive result confirms crab allergy and suggests possible cross-reactivity with other crustaceans like shrimp and lobster. This test helps guide dietary decisions and emergency preparedness.

This test detects IgE antibodies against shrimp allergens in your blood. Shellfish allergies are among the most common food allergies in adults and can cause reactions ranging from mild oral itching to severe anaphylaxis. A positive result indicates a shrimp allergy and suggests caution with other shellfish as well, due to potential cross-reactivity. This test confirms a suspected allergy and helps guide dietary avoidance and emergency preparedness.
