An allergy panel, also known as allergy testing or allergy screening, is a diagnostic test used to identify specific allergens that may be causing an allergic reaction in an individual. There are several methods for allergy testing, and the choice of method depends on the patient’s medical history, symptoms, and the suspected allergens.
Blood tests, such as the specific IgE blood test, measure the levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood. IgE antibodies are produced in response to allergens. Blood tests are often used when skin testing is not feasible or if the patient has a skin condition that may interfere with testing. 40 allergen detection markers
