Wall Pellitory (w21) IgE
Also known as: ImmunoCAP®
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
This test quantifies an individual's IgE response to wall pellitory (Parietaria judaica). Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE‑sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation.
