Am I sensitive to casein or allergic to it? Is it Lactose or Casein Allergy?
To investigate the specificity of allergic reactions to drugs or insect venom.
The release of pro inflammatory mediators (histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins) from IgE-sensitized effector cells can cause allergic diseases.
There is an indication of the immune response to allergens that may be associated with allergic disease.
The age of the patient, history of allergy exposure, season of year, and clinical manifestations are all factors that can affect the allergens chosen for testing.In infants and children less than 5 years of age, the sequence of sensitization and clinical manifestations begins due to food sensitivity.
There is an increased likelihood of allergic disease as opposed to other etiologies and the allergens that may be responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms are defined by the detection of IgE antibodies.
Depending on the concentration of IgE antibodies expressed as a class score or kU/L, the level in the serum varies.
Testing for IgE antibodies is not useful in patients who have already been treated with immunotherapy to determine if there is residual clinical sensitivity.
