Apple (f49) IgE details
What Apple (f49) IgE shows
Apple is one of the most widely eaten fruits, eaten raw and in juices, sauces and baked goods. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to apple in your blood. It is used when symptoms such as itching or tingling in the mouth, swelling, hives or stomach upset follow eating apple. In many people a positive result reflects birch pollen sensitization, which can cause mild mouth itching with raw apple that often eases when the fruit is cooked. 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.
