Limitations
The Oat test may have limitations in detecting low levels of IgE associated with mild allergies. Interpret results in conjunction with clinical findings and other tests, as cross-reactivity with other cereal grains may occur. Use caution in results for patients with high total IgE levels, which can lead to false positives.
