Use

The Allergen, Insects and Venom, Yellow-Faced Hornet test is designed to quantitatively measure allergen-specific IgE levels against the yellow-faced hornet (Dolichovespula arenaria) to determine the likelihood of IgE-mediated allergic reactions. Patients with exposure to this insect and symptoms suggestive of hypersensitivity can be assessed using this test. It is important for correlating laboratory results with clinical history and in vivo reactivity to specific allergens, aiding clinicians in identifying potential allergens responsible for symptoms. However, laboratory values may not always correlate with the degree of clinical response or in vivo challenges.
