Panel of 27 allergens
The test involves the determination of IgE antibodies in the blood and is
performed to diagnose allergies. The advantage of the test is the
no need to discontinue medications, which is necessary during
spot skin tests. The test gives reliable
results also in cases of severe allergic reaction.
Pediatric panel versus desensitization
Blood allergen testing is also used for
qualification for desensitization. It is also recommended for the diagnosis of
allergenic agents in children under the age of 4, since
It is only from this age that point-of-care skin testing can be used (due to the
of the need for the child's cooperation when performing skin spot tests
point skin tests).
A pool of allergens should be performed to exclude such allergies,
such as:
- Alpha-lactoalbumin,
- Alternaria alternata,
- Aspergillus fumigatus,
- Beta-lactoglobulin,
- Ovarian protein,
- birch,
- bacillus,
- Cladosporidium herbarum,
- Dermatophagoides farinae,
- Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus,
- fork,
- apple,
- casein,
- horse,
- cat,
- wheat flour,
- carrot,
- grass mixture (timothy, common rye),
- milk,
- hazelnut,
- peanut,
- dog,
- rice,
- beef albumin serum,
