Perennial Rye Grass (g5) IgE details
What Perennial Rye Grass (g5) IgE shows
Perennial rye grass is a common lawn, pasture and sports-field grass and one of the main sources of grass pollen in temperate areas. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to perennial rye grass pollen to check for allergic sensitization to this grass. A positive result can help explain sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes or asthma symptoms that flare during its late spring and early summer pollen season. It cross-reacts strongly with other temperate grasses such as timothy and fescue. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against when and where your symptoms occur, usually as part of a regional allergen panel.
