Eggplant (f262) IgE details
What Eggplant (f262) IgE shows
Eggplant, also called aubergine, belongs to the nightshade family along with tomato, potato and peppers. This test measures IgE antibodies to eggplant proteins to check whether your immune system has become sensitized to them. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as mouth itching, hives, swelling or digestive upset after eating eggplant, and occasionally skin reactions after handling it raw. Sensitization to related plants or pollens can sometimes cause a positive result through cross-reactivity. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
