Apricot (f237) IgE details
What Apricot (f237) IgE shows
Apricot is a stone fruit eaten fresh, dried, in jams and in baked goods. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to apricot in your blood. It is used when symptoms such as itching in the mouth, swelling, hives or stomach upset follow eating apricot or related fruits. Apricot is related to peach, plum and cherry, so a positive result can reflect cross-reactivity within this fruit family or with birch pollen. 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.
