Avocado (f96) IgE details
What Avocado (f96) IgE shows
Avocado is a fruit eaten fresh, in guacamole and in many dishes. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to avocado in your blood. It is used when symptoms such as itching in the mouth, hives, swelling or stomach upset follow eating avocado. Avocado shares proteins with natural rubber latex, and people sensitized to latex can react to avocado and some other fruits such as banana and kiwi. 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.
