Use

This test is useful for establishing a diagnosis of an allergy to Lepidoglyphus destructor, helping to define the allergen responsible for eliciting symptoms. It is used to identify allergens responsible for allergic responses and/or anaphylactic episodes, confirm sensitization prior to immunotherapy, and investigate allergic reaction specificity to insect venom allergens, drugs, or chemical allergens. Testing for IgE antibodies is not useful in patients previously treated with immunotherapy to determine if residual clinical sensitivity exists or in patients where medical management does not depend on allergen specificity.
