What Turkey Meat (f284) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies specific to turkey meat proteins to check whether your immune system is sensitized to this poultry. It can help look into symptoms such as hives, itching, swelling or digestive upset after eating turkey. Allergy to poultry meat is relatively uncommon and can partly cross-react with chicken and other birds. A positive result shows sensitization, meaning your body has made IgE to turkey meat, not necessarily a clinical allergy. A negative result makes an IgE-mediated turkey allergy less likely.
