Mushroom (f212) IgE details
What Mushroom (f212) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies directed at proteins in edible mushroom, a common food eaten raw or cooked in many dishes. It is used to check for allergic sensitization when you have had symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling or stomach upset after eating mushrooms. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to edible mushroom, and higher levels make a true allergy more likely. Mushroom allergens may also be inhaled during handling or growing, and some mushroom reactions are not IgE-related. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
