The Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP is a specialized allergy test that evaluates your Total IgE  (antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens) as well as specific IgE against a wide range of allergens causing eczema such as fruits, grains, nuts, pulses, house mites, etc, using the ImmunoCAP technique. Based on the results the source of allergy/allergies is determined and the course of treatment is decided accordingly.

Understanding Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by inflammation, itching, and irritation of the skin. This condition is often driven by an overactive immune response to various allergens, which the body mistakenly identifies as harmful. In eczema, the immune system produces specific antibodies known as Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in response to allergens, leading to flare-ups and exacerbation of skin symptoms.

The Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP is a comprehensive allergy panel that includes the Total IgE test, used to measure the total IgE levels in the blood. In addition, this panel also detects the presence of specific IgE antibodies to a wide range of allergens that are associated with eczema including fruits (peach, apple, banana, and orange), nuts (cashew, peanut and coconut), grains (wheat and rice), pulses (lentils and chickpeas), cow milk, egg white, soyabean, seafood (cod fish and shrimp), and environmental allergens (cat dander, dog dander, cockroach, house dust mite).

Your doctor may suggest the Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP if you exhibit symptoms of eczema such as persistent itching, redness, and dry, scaly skin. It is particularly useful for those with a history of eczema or other allergic conditions, as well as for individuals who have not found relief with standard eczema treatments. It is particularly useful for those with a history of eczema or other allergic conditions, as well as for individuals who have not found relief with standard eczema treatments. Allergen detection through this panel will help your doctor guide appropriate management and treatment decisions and prevent severe complications. 

Generally, no special preparation is required for the Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP. However, inform your doctor about any medications (such as antihistamines) you are taking, as they might influence your test results.

A positive test result indicates sensitivity to one or more of the allergens included in the panel, which can be further investigated  through more specific allergy testing. Conversely, a negative result indicates no sensitization to the tested allergens, though it does not eliminate the possibility of allergies to other substances not covered in this panel.

Lab test results can vary depending on the specific test kit used, as different methods and the quality of allergens used can affect the quantification of IgE. Therefore, these results are intended to be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms.

What does Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP measure?

Contains 21 tests

The Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP measures total and specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies associated with eczema to a wide spectrum of allergens. This comprehensive panel target for allergic triggers such as fruits (peach, apple, banana, and orange), nuts (cashew, peanut and coconut), grains (wheat and rice), pulses (lentils and chickpeas), cow milk, egg white, soyabean, seafood (cod fish and shrimp), and environmental allergens (cat dander, dog dander, cockroach, house dust mite).

This panel utilized the ImmunoCAP assay, is a  specialized allergy test that evaluates your Total IgE (antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens) as well as specific IgE against 20 distinct allergens causing eczema using the ImmunoCAP technique.

The Total IgE (Immunoglobulin E) test is used to quantify the total level of IgE antibodies in your blood. Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) secreted by plasma cells (immune cells) when the body identifies a dangerous foreign substance like bacteria, viruses, or allergens. There are five basic forms of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE. Of these, IgE plays a primary role in allergic reactions to allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, latex, some foods (such as eggs, peanuts, or strawberries), or insect stings.

Unlike other antibodies, IgE is primarily associated with immune responses to allergenic substances, such as plant pollen, latex, pet dander, mold, eggs, peanuts, bee venom, and strawberries. Typically, IgE is present in tiny amounts in the blood. When the immune system encounters an allergen, it triggers the production of IgE antibodies. The Total IgE test measures the concentration of these IgE antibodies in the blood, providing insights into the presence and severity of allergies.

FAQs related to Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP

The Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP is a diagnostic test that measures Total IgE levels and specific IgE antibodies to various allergens. It helps identify potential allergens that might be triggering eczema symptoms, such as itching, redness, and irritation of the skin.
Your doctor may recommend this panel if you have persistent or severe eczema symptoms. It is also used to identify specific allergens contributing to eczema flare-ups and to monitor the effectiveness of allergy treatments.
The panel tests for sensitivities to a range of allergens including fruits (peach, apple, banana, and orange), nuts (cashew, peanut and coconut), grains (wheat and rice), pulses (lentils and chickpeas), cow milk, egg white, soyabean, seafood (cod fish and shrimp), and environmental allergens (cat dander, dog dander, cockroach, house dust mite) along with total IgE.
A blood sample is taken to measure Total IgE levels and specific IgE antibodies to the allergens included in the panel. The sample is analyzed using the ImmunoCAP technique, which provides accurate results about allergen sensitivities.
Generally, no special preparation is required for this test. However, it is important to inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking, as they could influence the results.
A positive result indicates that you have specific IgE antibodies to one or more of the tested allergens, suggesting that these allergens might be contributing to your eczema. Further evaluation may be needed to confirm the diagnosis and to develop a treatment plan.
A negative result means that you do not have detectable specific IgE antibodies to the tested allergens. However, it does not rule out sensitivity to other allergens not included in the panel, and your symptoms may be due to different triggers.
The results help identify potential allergens causing or worsening your eczema. This information allows your doctor to tailor treatment and avoidance strategies more effectively, potentially improving your eczema management and overall quality of life.
Yes, eczema often starts in childhood, though it can occur at any age. It may appear as early as infancy and can affect various areas of the body, including the face, scalp, and behind the knees. Many children outgrow eczema or experience a significant improvement in symptoms as they get older.
There is no cure for eczema, but the condition can be managed effectively with appropriate treatment and lifestyle adjustments. Many people experience periods of remission where symptoms are minimal or absent.
