Egg Mix (Yolk and White) (f245) IgE details
What Egg Mix (Yolk and White) (f245) IgE shows
Hen's egg is one of the most common food allergens, especially in children, and its proteins are found in both the white and the yolk. This test uses a mix of yolk and white to screen for IgE antibodies to egg in a single measurement. A positive result shows sensitization to egg and can help explain reactions such as hives, swelling, vomiting or breathing symptoms after eating egg or foods that contain it. Because it combines both parts, it does not show which component you react to; separate white, yolk or component tests can do that. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
