Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Veg Panel, ImmunoCAP near me in Ernakulam

The Tomato test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies against tomato proteins. This test helps determine whether an individual’s immune system is reacting to tomatoes, which is essential for diagnosing tomato allergies and differentiating them from other conditions like food intolerances or oral allergy syndrome.

The test is a highly precise and reliable method that measures IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the tomato allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Dermatophagoides Farinae test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens from Dermatophagoides farinae mites (a common house dust mite). The test helps evaluate the body's immune response to dust mites, which are often found in home environments. Elevated IgE levels in response to these mites indicate an allergic sensitivity, enabling doctors to diagnose and manage allergic reactions more accurately.

This test is a highly precise and reliable method that quantifies IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the house dust allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) produced by plasma cells (specific immune cells) when the body recognizes bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, or any other unknown substances as harmful foreign antigens (allergy-causing substances or allergens) to the immune system. There are five types of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE.

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.

The Wheat ( Gehon / Triticum aestivum) test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies against wheat (gehon proteins. This test is a highly sensitive and accurate way to detect IgE antibodies, helping to assess the severity of the allergic reaction and guide further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
