Used for diagnostic testing to confirm apricot allergy in patients with suspected food allergies or oral allergy syndrome symptoms such as itching, swelling, or reactions after consuming apricots or related fruits.
When applied to the skin via a small prick or scratch, the extract introduces minute amounts of apricot allergen to the immune system. In sensitized individuals, this triggers a localized allergic response (wheal and flare) indicating the presence of specific IgE antibodies.
Should only be administered by trained healthcare professionals in settings equipped to manage potential anaphylactic reactions. Results should be interpreted alongside clinical history. Not intended for therapeutic desensitization use.
