Mosquito (i71) IgE details
What Mosquito (i71) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies to mosquito proteins. When a mosquito bites, it injects saliva, and most people develop small itchy bumps. Some people have larger swelling, blistering or more widespread reactions, and this test can help look at whether IgE sensitization may be involved. Exposure is mainly seasonal, during warm months when mosquitoes are active. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and many people have IgE to mosquito without notable reactions, so the result is read against your history of bite reactions.
