Passion Fruit (f294) IgE details
What Passion Fruit (f294) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies directed at proteins in passion fruit, a tropical 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 passion fruit. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to passion fruit, and higher levels make a true allergy more likely. Some tropical fruit reactions are linked to latex sensitization, so results are sometimes read alongside latex testing. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
