Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A (m80) IgE details
What Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A (m80) IgE shows
Staphylococcal enterotoxin A is a protein toxin made by some strains of Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium that commonly lives on the skin and in the nose. This test measures IgE antibodies to it. Sensitization to staphylococcal enterotoxins has been associated with atopic dermatitis, asthma and chronic sinus disease with nasal polyps, so the test can add context when these conditions are being assessed. A positive result shows sensitization to the toxin, not an active infection and not a diagnosis on its own. It is interpreted with your symptoms, other allergy tests and your clinical history.
