An allergy is a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system that causes undesirable reactions to certain substances like food, dust, pollen, drugs or even animal dander. These reactions normally do not occur in others. The substance causing the reaction is an allergen. Immunoglobin E is an antibody that the body produces in case of an allergic reaction. Total IgE test is a blood test used to measure the complete IgE levels in the blood, but it does not indicate what is the specific allergen causing the reaction. Allergy- adult panel 2 is a comprehensive screening that tests the body's reaction to 63 different allergens using MAST Blot technique. Based on the results the source of allergy/allergies is determined and the course of treatment is decided accordingly. Along with this the allergen specific IgE levels are also checked. 

Who should do this test?

People with the following symptoms should do this test:

  • Itchy and watery eyes

What other tests are ordered along with this test?

This is a comprehensive allergy panel done when localizing symptoms and cause of allergy is not clear. Common symptoms are: Itching, running nose, sneezing, coughing, diarrhoea, hives
Certain severe cases may also lead to anaphylactic shock. 
The test is used to screen for possible allergies due to 63 different food, plants, and animal sources. Based on these results further specific testing is recommended. 

The allergy adult panel 2 test is done if you have signs and symptoms of an allergy. This test helps detect which substance you may be allergic to.

Allergy test measures the IgE mediated response to 63 food, plant, and animal allergens. Total IgE levels are also measured. Further tests to a specific allergen will help in further diagnosis.

Allergy test requires a blood sample post exposure to the allergens. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer. 

The allergy adult panel 2 test takes just a few minutes. The lab technician will tie an elastic band to your upper arm. They will ask you to make a fist. This helps the blood to build up in the vein. They will clean the spot with a disinfectant. They will then insert a needle into your vein to extract blood. They will collect the blood into a tube attached to the needle. Finally, they will stick a bandage on your arm.

Positive result to an allergen indicates that the person is allergic to it. Increased IgE levels further confirms that. Very often the test may be positive for more than one allergen as well. The further treatment course is decided based on the results. Based on the symptom, age, environmental allergens, and region wise allergens further testing may be required for specific diagnosis. 
Negative result may require other tests for differential diagnosis. 

As different labs use different techniques, your results may vary to a certain degree.

  • High Total IgE means you have an allergy. However, it doesn't specify what you may be allergic to.
  • High Specific IgE means you have an allergy to the specific allergen that has been tested.

Sometimes, a specific IgE test may show a false positive, which means you are allergic to an allergen even when you are not.

Alternatively, the test may also show a false negative, which means you are not allergic to an allergen even when you are.

In case of an allergy, your doctor may prescribe a treatment plan depending on the severity of your symptoms or advise you to consult an allergy specialist.
