Use

This test is useful for diagnosing an allergy to cockroach allergens. It helps in defining the specific allergen responsible for eliciting allergic signs and symptoms, which can be crucial for confirming sensitization before starting immunotherapy. Additionally, it helps identify the allergen responsible for an anaphylactic episode and is useful in investigating the specificity of allergic reactions to different allergens, including insect venom, drugs, or chemicals. This test measures IgE antibodies in the serum, which indicate immune responses to allergens that might be related to allergic disease.
