Clinical Significance
This test detects the presence of specific IgE against
sesame seeds. A positive test only indicates that a person
is sensitized and potentially allergic to this allergen. A
diagnosis of allergy requires clinical signs and symptoms
that appear to be associated with exposure to the allergen
in addition to the detection of markers of IgE
sensitization. Sesame component testing, performed if the
test is positive, may help manage patients with suspected
sesame allergy.
