Use
This test measures the specific IgE antibodies to Wall Pellitory pollen.

Special Instructions
For accurate results, ensure that the serum specimen is collected properly and stored at room temperature until testing. Adequate specimen volume is crucial to prevent any unnecessary delays in testing and ensure the reliability of results.
Limitations
The test results should be correlated with clinical history and other diagnostic findings. False positives can occur and should be interpreted cautiously. Certain factors, such as recent allergen exposure, medications, or concurrent infections, might impact the specificity or sensitivity of the IgE antibody measurement. This test does not measure the severity of an allergic reaction, only the presence of specific IgE antibodies.
