Juniperus sabinoides

What the laboratory says this test is for

Up to 90 percent of children and 60 percent of adults with asthma have underlying allergies that trigger their asthma.1,2 Commonly, these allergies are to trees, grasses, molds, and animals. Allergy respiratory IgE blood tests aid in the diagnosis of allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, and urticaria. In this panel, when whole allergen dog/cat protein extract is found to be positive, the dog and/or cat dander component panel, which uses individual recombinant proteins from dogs and cats, is automatically run since this improves specificity compared to animal extract assays and helps differentiate an actual dog and/or cat allergy from a cross-reactive pet allergy.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1.

What the laboratory says this test is for

This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to environmental allergens that are commonly associated with allergies in central valley areas of California. Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation [1].More specific information about allergens included in this panel may be found on the Quest Diagnostics Test Directory.Reference1. Bernstein IL, et al. Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2008;100(3 Suppl 3)S1-S148.
