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. 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 -Weeds Pollen Panel is a screening that tests the body's reaction to pollen from 5 different types of weed (grass) 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.

The Allergy Weeds Pollen Panel is a specialised blood test that identifies allergic reactions to specific weed pollens. It measures Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which the immune system produces in response to these allergens. The test covers common pollens like Common Ragweed, Mugwort, English Plantain, Goosefoot, and Saltwort, providing detailed insights into individual sensitivities.

Identifying specific triggers helps manage and prevent allergic symptoms, diagnose related allergies, and tailor treatments for effective allergy management, including potential immunotherapy

An Allergy-Weeds Pollen Panel is performed in cases of suspected inhalant allergies due to pollen from weeds (grasses). It helps in determining the exact source or allergen causing it.

 

 

Allergy - Weeds Pollen Panel measures the IgE-mediated response to pollen from 5 different weeds (grass):

  1. Common Ragweed
  2. Mugwort
  3. Plantain English
  4. Goosefoot
  5. Salwort

Total IgE levels are also measured.

This 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. 

Positive result to an allergen indicates that the person is allergic to it. Increased allergen-specific IgE levels further confirms that. Very often the test may be positive for more than one allergen as well. 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 results may require other tests for differential diagnosis.
