Fruit Allergy Panel Overview

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. A total IgE test is a blood test used to measure the complete IgE levels in the blood, but it does not indicate what specific allergen is causing the reaction. Allergy-Fruit panel is a food allergy screening that tests the body's reaction to 8 different fruits using the ImmunoCAP technique. These include Apple, Banana, Pear, Peach, Papaya, Kiwi Fruit, Mango and Pineapple. 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. 

The Fruit Allergy Panel is a specialised diagnostic test designed to identify specific allergies to various fruits. It is a food allergy screening test that measures the body's immune response to different fruit allergens by detecting the presence of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood. This test uses advanced techniques like the ImmunoCAP method, to accurately assess the immune system's reaction to specific fruit proteins.

By identifying the specific fruits that trigger an allergic response, the Fruit Allergy Panel provides valuable information for individuals experiencing symptoms after consuming fruits. This test helps doctors develop targeted treatment plans and provides guidance on which fruits to avoid, Helping patients manage their fruit allergies safely.

  • Skin manifestations like hives or rashes after eating fruits
  • Gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea, triggered by fruit consumption
  • Severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention

List of Parameters Considered During the Fruit Allergy Panel

The primary parameter measured during the Fruit Allergy Panel is the level of allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the blood:

  • Allergen-specific IgE antibodies: These antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to specific proteins found in various fruits. The presence and level of these antibodies indicate whether an individual has an allergic sensitivity to one or more types of fruit. Common fruits tested include apples, bananas, pears, peaches, papayas, kiwis, mangoes, pineapples, and others, depending on the specific test panel.

Fruit Allergy Panel Preparation

Preparing for the Fruit Allergy Panel is straightforward and involves the following steps:

  • No fasting required: Unlike some other blood tests, there is no need to fast before undergoing the Fruit Allergy Panel.
  • Blood sample collection: A small blood sample is drawn from the patient by a trained phlebotomist, which is then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
  • General instructions: Patients are usually advised to follow their regular routine and avoid any specific precautions unless otherwise instructed by their doctor.

Fruit Allergy Panel Results & Interpretation

The results of the Fruit Allergy Panel indicate the presence and levels of IgE antibodies specific to various fruit allergens. Here's how to interpret the results:

  • Positive results: A positive result indicates the presence of IgE antibodies against specific fruits, suggesting an allergy. The level of IgE antibodies may correlate with allergy severity, but clinical symptoms should also be considered.
  • Negative results: A negative result suggests an absence of detectable IgE-mediated allergies to the tested fruits but does not rule out non-IgE-mediated reactions. to the tested fruits. However, it does not rule out other types of reactions or intolerances.
  • Interpretation: If the test is positive, the doctor will advise on avoiding the identified fruits and may suggest further testing, such as an oral food challenge, for confirmation.

Fruit allergy test is done in suspected allergies due to certain fruits for determining the exact fruit source causing it (allergen).

The fruit allergy test measures the IgE-mediated response to 8 different fruits.

  1. Apple (Malus X Domestica / Safarchand)
  2. Banana (Musa Spp. / Kela)
  3. Pear (Pyrus Communis)
  4. Peach (Prunus persica)
  5. Papaya (Carica papaya)
  6. Kiwi Fruit (Actinidia Deliciosa)
  7. Mango (Mangifera Indica)
  8. Pineapple (Ananas Comosus / Ananas)

Total IgE levels are also measured.

A blood sample after exposure to the allergens is required for the test. The area from where blood will be drawn will be sterilised. Then you will be asked to make a fist with your hand so that your veins are easier to find and measure. Finally, to collect the blood sample in a vacutainer, a tourniquet will be wrapped around your upper arm tightly. This will help in the build-up of blood filling your veins, which will make it easier to collect the sample. This may feel like a prick and slight tenderness may remain at the site of injection for a short while.

A positive result to a particular allergen indicates that the person is allergic to that fruit. Increased allergen-specific IgE levels further confirm 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.
Negative results may require other tests for differential diagnosis.
