F096-IgE Avocado is a specialized allergy test that measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies specific to avocado protein. This test helps diagnose avocado allergies and sensitivities, which can occur independently or as part of a broader fruit allergy syndrome. Avocado allergy can cause various symptoms including oral allergy syndrome (itching or swelling of the mouth and throat), skin reactions like hives or contact dermatitis, gastrointestinal issues, and in rare cases, anaphylaxis. This test is particularly valuable for evaluating patients with suspected fruit allergies, distinguishing between avocado-specific allergies and cross-reactivity with other fruits or latex, and guiding dietary modifications for individuals with confirmed avocado allergies. The ImmunoCAP methodology ensures accurate and reliable allergy diagnosis.
