What is this test?

This test checks for IgE antibodies, which are often produced when the immune system reacts to substances in the air. It evaluates a mixture of six inhalant allergens; the exact allergens included can vary by laboratory and should be confirmed on the test order.

Why might I need this test?

Your clinician may order this test to help identify possible airborne triggers of sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, wheezing, or other allergy symptoms.

How is the test performed?

A blood sample is tested for IgE antibodies to the allergens in the panel. Results are generally reported as positive or negative for each included allergen.

How do I prepare for the test?

No special preparation is usually required. Tell your clinician about any antihistamines or other allergy medicines you are taking, because they may affect testing or interpretation.

Clinical interpretation

How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.

A positive result shows that IgE antibodies to one or more tested inhalant allergens are present, suggesting possible allergy sensitization. This should be interpreted with your symptoms and medical history because sensitization does not always mean an allergen causes your symptoms. Your clinician can discuss which triggers are clinically relevant and recommend avoidance or treatment options.

Frequently asked questions

What does a positive result mean?
It means your immune system has produced IgE antibodies to one or more allergens in the tested panel. Your clinician will interpret the result in relation to your symptoms and exposure history.
Which six allergens are included?
The components can vary by laboratory or specific order code. Check the test requisition or ask the laboratory to identify the six allergens included before interpreting the results.
Does a negative result rule out all allergies?
No. It means the tested antibodies were not detected, but reactions to allergens not included in the panel or other types of allergic reactions may still be possible.
