Order Citrus Fruit Allergy Test Panel | TestingAllergic reactions to foods can be puzzling, especially when the trigger is a fruit that seems harmless. The Citrus Fruit Allergy Test Panel measures specific IgE antibodies against five common citrus fruits, providing objective information about sensitization.
About Citrus Fruit Allergy Test Panel | Testing in Calexico
This panel evaluates immunoglobulin E (IgE) reactivity to five citrus fruits using a blood sample.
IgE antibodies are part of the immune system's response to normally harmless substances. When a person is sensitized to a particular allergen, IgE antibodies bind to it, and subsequent exposure can trigger symptoms such as itching, hives, or oral tingling.
The panel includes oranges, limes, lemons, tangerines, and grapefruits. Each fruit is tested individually, which helps distinguish reactions to one citrus type from reactions to several. Cross-reactivity among citrus fruits is possible because they share similar proteins, but individual results can still vary.
Results are reported as quantitative IgE levels or as class scores, depending on the laboratory's method. A higher level indicates a greater likelihood of clinical allergy, but sensitization does not always equate to symptoms. A healthcare provider interprets the findings alongside a person's history and other clinical information.
