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. Eczema or atopic dermatitis is a skin condition that may lead to redness, dryness, itching and lesions on the skin. There may be various trigger factors that may aggravate the condition. Allergy-eczema is a screening that tests the body's reaction to 10 different allergens such as plants, animal dander and foods using the ImmunoCap 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. 

Frequently asked questions

  • Eczema allergy test is done in suspected skin conditions for diagnosis and determining the exact source causing it (trigger factor).
  • The test is different from the one undertaken for the diagnosis of urticaria or skin allergies due to other causes.

Eczema allergy test measures the IgE-mediated response to 11 different types of food, plants and animal dander. These include Egg White, Cow Milk, Cod Fish, Wheat, Peanut, Soybean, Cat Dander, Dog Dander, Dermatophagoides Farinae, and Bermuda Grass.

Total IgE levels are also measured. 

A blood sample after exposure to the allergen(s) is required. The procedure of collecting the sample is quite simple. First, the area where the needle will be inserted to collect the blood sample is disinfected, and then the fist will need to be clenched to make the veins easier to find and measure. Finally, to collect the blood sample in a vacutainer, a tourniquet will be wrapped around the upper arm and pulled until the band starts to feel tight. This will help the blood build up in the veins, making it easier to collect the sample.

Positive result to an allergen indicates that it is the trigger factor for causing the eczematous condition . Increased allergen-specific 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.
