Birch (t3) IgE details
What Birch (t3) IgE shows
Birch is a common tree in northern temperate regions, and it releases large amounts of pollen in spring. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to birch tree pollen in your blood. It is used to check whether birch pollen may be behind spring symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, itchy eyes or asthma. Birch pollen shares proteins with alder, hazel and oak and with many raw fruits, nuts and vegetables such as apple, cherry and hazelnut, so sensitized people may notice mouth itching with these foods. A positive result shows sensitization rather than proof of allergy, so it needs to be read against when and where your symptoms occur.
