Mango
Use
The Mango test is designed to detect specific IgE antibodies to mango allergens in serum, aiding in the diagnosis of mango allergy. The presence of specific IgE suggests a sensitization to mango allergens, which could be associated with clinical symptoms of allergy. This test can help guide dietary and management decisions for individuals showing allergic reactions upon exposure to mango.

Limitations
The test for specific IgE to mango may not fully predict the severity of allergic reactions and should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings. Cross-reactivity with other allergens is possible and needs consideration, especially in individuals with pollen allergies.
