Anchovy (f313) IgE details
What Anchovy (f313) IgE shows
Anchovy is a small oily fish eaten fresh, canned or salted, and found in sauces, dressings and pastes such as Caesar dressing and Worcestershire sauce. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to anchovy in your blood. It is used when symptoms such as hives, swelling, stomach upset or breathing problems follow eating anchovy or other fish. A positive result suggests sensitization to anchovy proteins, and many fish share a similar protein, so people sensitized to one fish often react to others. A positive result shows sensitization, meaning your immune system has made IgE to this allergen, but not necessarily an allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
