Description:
This in vitro allergen-specific IgE panel is used to quantitatively measure an individual's IgE response to 23 different environmental allergens that are commonly associated with allergies in southern Idaho and Nevada. These allergens include Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Bermuda grass, cat dander, Cladosporium herbarum, cockroach, common ragweed (short), cottonwood, Dermatophagoides farinae, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, dog dander, elm, maple (box elder), mountain cedar, mouse urine proteins, mugwort (sagebrush), oak, olive, Penicillium notatum, rough pigweed, Russian thistle (prickly saltwort), timothy grass, and white mulberry. This IgE panel is intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical information to aid in the diagnosis of allergic diseases [1]. While allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing in many instances, both the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology recognize that allergen-specific serum IgE testing may be preferred in some clinical situations. These include (1) the presence of widespread skin disease, (2) the recent use of antihistamines or other medications that can affect the results of allergy skin tests, (3) uncooperative patients, and (4) medical history suggesting that allergen skin testing would pose a significant risk for a serious allergic reaction [1]. The results of this panel should be interpreted in the context of pertinent clinical and family history and physical examination findings. More specific information about each allergen included in this panel may be found on the Quest Diagnostics Test Directory. Reference

Description:
This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to environmental allergens that are commonly associated with allergies in Oregon and central and eastern Washington. Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation [1]. More specific information about allergens included in this panel may be found on the Quest Diagnostics Test Directory. Reference

Description:
This in vitro allergen-specific IgE panel is used to quantitatively measure an individual's IgE response to 23 different environmental allergens that are commonly associated with allergies in Georgia, northern Florida, and South Carolina. These allergens include Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Bahia grass, Bermuda grass, birch, cat dander, Cladosporium herbarum, cockroach, common ragweed (short), Dermatophagoides farinae, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, dog dander, elm, maple (box elder), mountain cedar, mouse urine proteins, nettle, oak, pecan/hickory, Penicillium notatum, rough pigweed, sheep sorrel, and timothy grass. This IgE panel is intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical information to aid in the diagnosis of allergic diseases [1]. While allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing in many instances, both the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology recognize that allergen-specific serum IgE testing may be preferred in some clinical situations.
