Pear (f94) IgE details
What Pear (f94) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies directed at proteins in pear, a fruit eaten fresh, cooked and as juice. It is used to check for allergic sensitization when you have had symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling or stomach upset after eating pears. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to pear, and higher levels make a true allergy more likely. Pear allergy is often linked to birch pollen sensitization, which typically causes mild itching of the mouth and throat with raw fruit. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
