About the test
The Turkey Meat (f284) IgE test measures a person's IgE response to turkey meat, helping to identify potential food allergies. This test is performed in a lab and is used alongside other clinical information for a comprehensive diagnosis. While a positive result indicates sensitivity to turkey meat, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll experience allergic symptoms upon eating it. A thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider is essential for an accurate food allergy diagnosis.
Why might someone need this test?
This test is particularly useful in situations where skin testing for allergies isn't possible or is less reliable, such as:
- Widespread skin disease
- Recent use of antihistamines
- Uncooperative patients
- Risk of severe allergic reaction from skin testing
What type of sample is required?
0.3 mL serum.
