Allergy Panel 16, Vegetable Group
Also known as: ImmunoCAP®
Use
This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to five vegetables commonly associated with allergies, indicating sensitization but not necessarily clinical allergy. A positive result suggests that the patient has produced IgE antibodies to these vegetable allergens, which may correlate with increased risk of allergic reactions, but clinical correlation is required for diagnosis.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
A positive IgE antibody result indicates sensitization but does not confirm a clinical allergic reaction. Many individuals with positive IgE to food allergens may not exhibit symptoms upon exposure. Diagnostic conclusions should be made by a healthcare provider in the context of patient history and presentation.
