Pecan Nut IgE (F201)
Use
This test measures the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies specific to pecan nut proteins, which may assist in identifying sensitization or allergic response to pecans. Clinical interpretation should consider patient history and may not alone confirm clinical allergy.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Results indicate sensitization (presence of specific IgE) but cannot alone diagnose clinical allergy or predict reaction severity. Correlation with clinical history and, if necessary, in‑vivo testing is essential.
