Squid (f258) IgE details
What Squid (f258) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies specific to squid proteins to check whether your immune system is sensitized to this seafood. Squid is a mollusc, eaten in dishes such as calamari, and it shares some allergenic proteins, such as tropomyosin, with shrimp and other shellfish. Testing can help look into symptoms such as hives, swelling, vomiting or breathing trouble after eating seafood. A positive result shows sensitization, which may reflect a squid allergy or cross-reactivity with other shellfish. It does not by itself confirm a clinical allergy, so results are read against your symptoms and history.
