Sweet Gum (t211) IgE details
What Sweet Gum (t211) IgE shows
Sweet gum is a deciduous tree common in the eastern and southern United States, and it releases pollen in spring. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to sweet gum pollen to check for allergic sensitization. It can help explain symptoms such as sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes or wheezing during the spring tree pollen season. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and should be matched against when your symptoms occur. Many trees pollinate at the same time, so this result is usually interpreted as part of a regional tree pollen panel.
