Complete Egg Allergy Profile (IgE)
SKU:ALL13
Symptoms such as hives, swelling, digestive upset, or breathing difficulties after eating eggs may indicate an egg allergy. The Egg Allergy Panel (IgE) helps identify allergic reactions to different components of eggs, distinguishing between sensitivities to egg white, yolk, or specific proteins, enabling more accurate management of dietary restrictions.
Why Needs an Egg Allergy Panel (IgE)?
Egg allergy is one of the most common food allergies in children, though it can also affect adults. Since egg proteins are widely used in foods and even vaccines, identifying the specific protein triggering the allergy is essential for avoiding accidental exposure and preventing mild to severe allergic reactions.
