Respiratory Profile, Region 10, Southwestern Grasslands (OK, TX), Serum
Use
This test assesses sensitization to various inhalant allergens commonly found in the Southwestern grasslands region, including Oklahoma and Texas. It is useful for defining the allergen responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms, identifying allergens responsible for an allergic response or anaphylactic episode, confirming sensitization prior to beginning immunotherapy, and investigating the specificity of allergic reactions to insect venom allergens, drugs, or chemical allergens.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
This test is not useful for patients who have been previously treated with immunotherapy if trying to determine if residual clinical sensitivity exists or in cases where medical management does not depend upon identification of allergen specificity. An elevated concentration of total IgE is not diagnostic for allergic disease and must be interpreted in the clinical context.
