Allergy Panel - 5 Allergens

Food allergies are a prevalent condition affecting many individuals worldwide. Among these, fruit allergies are relatively common and can occur when your immune system overreacts to proteins found in certain fruits. The Allergy Screening Panel 5 Fruits is a diagnostic test designed to determine if you have an allergic reaction to a group of five specific fruits.

Fruit allergies can vary in severity, with symptoms including itching or swelling in the mouth, hives, stomach cramps, and in severe cases, a potentially life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis. The Allergy Screening Panel 5 Fruits tests for allergies to five different fruits, typically including apples, bananas, peaches, strawberries, and oranges, which are among the most common culprits of fruit allergies.This test evaluates the presence of specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood. Your immune system produces these antibodies in response to the proteins, perceived as threats, in these fruits.

Specific Instructions:

Also, try to avoid exposure to any known allergens before the test.
