Mandarin (Tangerine) (f302) IgE details
What Mandarin (Tangerine) (f302) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies directed at proteins in mandarin (tangerine), a citrus fruit eaten fresh and used in juices and desserts. It is used to check for allergic sensitization when you have had symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling or stomach upset after eating mandarins or tangerines. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to mandarin (tangerine), and higher levels make a true allergy more likely. Citrus fruits share some proteins, so people sensitized to one citrus fruit may also test positive to others. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
