Use

The Beef, IgE test is used for establishing a diagnosis of an allergy to beef and defining the allergen responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms. It aids in identifying allergens responsible for allergic responses or anaphylactic episodes and confirming sensitization prior to starting immunotherapy. However, testing for IgE antibodies is not useful in patients who have been previously treated with immunotherapy for residual clinical sensitivity or in those whose medical management does not require identification of allergen specificity.
