Description
This test measures your body's allergic reaction to the German cockroach, a common insect in cities with mild climates. Being around cockroach allergens can lead to asthma, especially in kids and young adults. This test, which checks the level of IgE antibodies in response to cockroaches, helps providers diagnose allergies. It's done in a lab and should be used alongside other health info for the best results.
Why might you need this test?
Providers might suggest this test if you have symptoms of an allergy or asthma that could be linked to cockroaches. It's also a good option when skin tests aren't possible because of skin conditions, recent medication use, uncooperative behavior, or a high risk of severe allergic reactions.
What does the test involve?
A small sample of your blood (0.3 mL serum) is taken to measure your IgE levels against cockroach allergens.
Remember:
An allergy diagnosis shouldn't rely on just one test. A healthcare professional will consider this test result along with your medical history and other tests.
