Cherry (f242) IgE details
What Cherry (f242) IgE shows
Cherry is a stone fruit from the same family as peach, plum and apricot, eaten fresh and in desserts, jams and juices. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to cherry proteins to check for allergic sensitization. It can help when you notice mouth itching, swelling, hives or other symptoms after eating cherries. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to cherry. Cherry reactions are often linked to birch pollen allergy and are mostly mild mouth symptoms, but some people react to other cherry proteins that can cause more serious reactions. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
