Allergy Profile (Basic)

What is included (4 tests)

About the Allergy Profile (Basic)

The basic allergy profile measures total IgE, eosinophil count and panels for common food and inhalant allergens. It helps identify what you may be allergic to, such as dust mites, pollen or certain foods, so that you can reduce exposure with your doctor’s advice.

Symptoms and situations where this test helps

• Sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes (allergic rhinitis)
• Wheezing or recurring cough that worsens at night
• Hives, itching, eczema or swelling after certain foods
• Frequent colds that seem seasonal

Understanding your results

A high total IgE and eosinophil count suggest an allergic tendency. A positive specific IgE shows sensitisation to an allergen, but not every positive means symptoms. Your allergist links results with your history.

What your doctor may advise next

Your doctor may advise allergen avoidance, medicines or skin tests, and sometimes immunotherapy.
