Understanding Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP


What is Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP?

The Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP is a specialized allergy test that evaluates your Total IgE  (antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens) as well as specific IgE against a wide range of allergens causing eczema such as fruits, grains, nuts, pulses, house mites, etc, using the ImmunoCAP technique. Based on the results the source of allergy/allergies is determined and the course of treatment is decided accordingly.

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by inflammation, itching, and irritation of the skin. This condition is often driven by an overactive immune response to various allergens, which the body mistakenly identifies as harmful. In eczema, the immune system produces specific antibodies known as Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in response to allergens, leading to flare-ups and exacerbation of skin symptoms.

The Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP is a comprehensive allergy panel that includes the Total IgE test, used to measure the total IgE levels in the blood. In addition, this panel also detects the presence of specific IgE antibodies to a wide range of allergens that are associated with eczema including fruits (peach, apple, banana, and orange), nuts (cashew, peanut and coconut), grains (wheat and rice), pulses (lentils and chickpeas), cow milk, egg white, soyabean, seafood (cod fish and shrimp), and environmental allergens (cat dander, dog dander, cockroach, house dust mite).

Your doctor may suggest the Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP if you exhibit symptoms of eczema such as persistent itching, redness, and dry, scaly skin. It is particularly useful for those with a history of eczema or other allergic conditions, as well as for individuals who have not found relief with standard eczema treatments. It is particularly useful for those with a history of eczema or other allergic conditions, as well as for individuals who have not found relief with standard eczema treatments. Allergen detection through this panel will help your doctor guide appropriate management and treatment decisions and prevent severe complications. 

Generally, no special preparation is required for the Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP. However, inform your doctor about any medications (such as antihistamines) you are taking, as they might influence your test results.

A positive test result indicates sensitivity to one or more of the allergens included in the panel, which can be further investigated  through more specific allergy testing. Conversely, a negative result indicates no sensitization to the tested allergens, though it does not eliminate the possibility of allergies to other substances not covered in this panel.

Lab test results can vary depending on the specific test kit used, as different methods and the quality of allergens used can affect the quantification of IgE. Therefore, these results are intended to be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms. 

What is Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP used for?

The Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP is done: 

  • If you experience symptoms of eczema such as persistent itching, redness, and irritation of the skin.
  • To identify potential allergens that may be exacerbating eczema.
  • To track the effectiveness of allergy treatments.
  • If you have a history of allergies or eczema that does not respond to conventional treatments.

What does Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP measure?

Contains 21 tests

The Allergy - Eczema Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP measures total and specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies associated with eczema to a wide spectrum of allergens. This comprehensive panel target for allergic triggers such as fruits (peach, apple, banana, and orange), nuts (cashew, peanut and coconut), grains (wheat and rice), pulses (lentils and chickpeas), cow milk, egg white, soyabean, seafood (cod fish and shrimp), and environmental allergens (cat dander, dog dander, cockroach, house dust mite).

This panel utilized the ImmunoCAP assay, is a  specialized allergy test that evaluates your Total IgE (antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens) as well as specific IgE against 20 distinct allergens causing eczema using the ImmunoCAP technique.

Total IgE

Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) produced by plasma cells (specific immune cells) when the body recognizes bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, or any other unknown substances as harmful foreign antigens (allergy-causing substances or allergens) to the immune system. There are five types of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE.

Unlike other antibodies, IgE is primarily associated with immune responses to allergenic substances, such as plant pollen, latex, pet dander, mold, eggs, peanuts, bee venom, and strawberries. Typically, IgE is present in tiny amounts in the blood. When the immune system encounters an allergen, it triggers the production of IgE antibodies. The Total IgE test measures the concentration of these IgE antibodies in the blood, providing insights into the presence and severity of allergies.
