Childhood Allergy (Food and Environmental) Panel with Reflexes
Also known as: ImmunoCAP®
Use
This panel assesses IgE-mediated sensitization in children to a range of common food and environmental allergens, facilitating identification of likely triggers of allergic reactions including asthma, eczema, hives, or food-related symptoms. Reflex testing to component panels (e.g., milk, egg, peanut) allows deeper diagnostic insight when specific allergen IgE thresholds are met, helping guide clinical management.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
A positive IgE result indicates sensitization but does not confirm clinical allergy or predict reaction severity; results must be interpreted alongside clinical history and other diagnostic modalities. The panel has been discontinued effective February 24, 2025, and replaced by newer alternatives; clinicians should transition to updated panels.
