Allergy Rhinitis / Wheeze Panel (> 5 years)









The Allergy Rhinitis / Wheeze Panel (> 5 years) comprises a group of tests tailored for adults and children over 5 years. It detects allergies that may cause allergic rhinitis (hay fever) or wheezing, causing respiratory discomfort. Using ImmunoCAP techniques, this panel measures specific immunoglobulin IgE and total IgE antibodies against a wide range of allergens causing rhinitis.













Understanding Allergy Rhinitis / Wheeze Panel (> 5 years)
Allergic rhinitis, also called hay fever, is a condition where the immune system overreacts to harmless airborne substances. This can lead to inflammation of the nasal passages. The immune system mistakenly identifies specific environmental substances as harmful (allergens) and produces an inappropriate response by producing antibodies (specific proteins) called immunoglobulin E (IgE).
The Allergy Rhinitis / Wheeze Panel (> 5 years) is a comprehensive allergy panel that includes the total IgE test, used to measure the total IgE levels in the blood. It also looks for specific IgE antibodies to many common airborne allergens, like molds (such as Aspergillus, Alternaria, and Penicillium), animal dander (from cows and dogs), dust mites, house dust, pollens (from grasses and trees like Bermuda grass, Timothy grass, elm, and mesquite), and pests like cockroaches.
Doctors may recommend the Allergy Rhinitis / Wheeze Panel (> 5 years) if there are symptoms like a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, wheezing, itchy or watery eyes, post-nasal drip, cough, or sore throat. This panel may also be advised for individuals with asthma to identify triggers that aggravate asthma symptoms. It is also beneficial for those with a family history of allergies or those who have not responded well to standard allergy treatments. Allergen detection through this panel helps doctors tailor appropriate management and treatment decisions.
Generally, no special preparation is required for the Allergy Rhinitis / Wheeze Panel (> 5 years). Inform the doctor about any medications (such as antihistamines) being taken, as they might influence the test results.
A positive test result means the person is allergic to one or more allergens in the panel. It can be further investigated through more specific allergy testing. If the result is negative, more tests might be needed to find other causes of the symptoms.
Lab results can vary based on the test kit used, as different methods and allergens can affect the results. Therefore, these results should be looked at along with the allergy symptoms.
What does Allergy Rhinitis / Wheeze Panel (> 5 years) measure?
Contains 14 testsThe Allergy Rhinitis / Wheeze Panel (> 5 years) measures total and specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies associated with rhinitis allergic reactions to a wide range of environmental airborne allergens. This comprehensive panel targets allergic triggers such as fungus species, common grasses, dust mites, animal dander, cockroaches, among others.

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.
