Use

The test is used to establish a diagnosis of an allergy to linden and to define the allergen responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms. It identifies allergens responsible for allergic response or anaphylactic episodes, confirms sensitization prior to immunotherapy, and investigates the specificity of allergic reactions to insect venom allergens, drugs, or chemical allergens. Testing for IgE antibodies in individuals previously treated with immunotherapy is not useful in determining residual clinical sensitivity, and it's also not useful when medical management doesn't depend on identifying allergen specificity.
