Coriander/Cilantro
Use
This test is a quantitative allergen‑specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) assay for coriander/cilantro. It assists clinicians in evaluating sensitization or possible allergic response to coriander/cilantro within the broader clinical and laboratory context. Elevated total IgE levels (>3000 IU/mL), potentially seen in conditions such as parasitic infestations, may cause nonspecific binding, necessitating reevaluation after resolution of the underlying condition.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by LabCorp and has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; the FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary. Quantitative allergen‑specific IgE results should be interpreted with clinical and laboratory findings. High total IgE (>3000 IU/mL) may yield nonspecific binding; testing in such cases should be re‑evaluated once the condition is resolved.
