Limitations
This test specifically measures IgE antibodies against Cloves and may not detect other forms of allergies not mediated by IgE. It is also possible for the test to return a negative result even if the patient has a clinical history of allergic symptoms due to factors like the timing of allergen exposure relative to testing. Moreover, the test, developed by LabCorp, has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but it has been deemed fit for clinical use per applicable standards.
