About the test
This test measures the body's allergic reaction to sardines/pilchards by checking for specific IgE antibodies. It's a lab test used alongside other clinical information to help diagnose food allergies.
Why might someone need this test?
This test is particularly useful in situations where skin allergy tests might not be suitable, such as if someone has widespread skin disease, has recently taken antihistamines, is uncooperative, or if there's a high risk of a severe allergic reaction from skin testing.
Understanding the results:
A positive result means there's a sensitivity to sardines/pilchards, but it doesn't necessarily mean eating this food will cause an allergic reaction. Only a medical professional can diagnose a food allergy, considering both the test results and the patient's history.
