Clinical Significance
Up to 90 percent of children and 60 percent of adults with asthma have underlying allergies that trigger their asthma.1,2 Commonly, these allergies are to trees, grasses, molds, and animals. Allergy respiratory IgE blood tests aid in the diagnosis of allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, and urticaria. In this panel, when whole allergen dog/cat protein extract is found to be positive, the dog and/or cat dander component panel, which uses individual recombinant proteins from dogs and cats, is automatically run since this improves specificity compared to animal extract assays and helps differentiate an actual dog and/or cat allergy from a cross-reactive pet allergy.
