The study determines sensitization to food allergens. This comprehensive test helps identify the presence of hypersensitivity and assess the risk of developing food allergies.
The test allows identification of allergens that cause various allergic reactions: from contact dermatitis to anaphylaxis. For example, the tomato allergen (including profilin Lyc e1, polygalacturonase Lyc e2, lipid transfer protein Lyc e3) can cause oral allergy syndrome and systemic reactions. Baker's yeast contains allergenic components that cross-react with molds and fungi, which is important to consider in diagnosis. Garlic and onioncan cause contact dermatitis and respiratory allergic reactions. The celery allergen is highly resistant to digestion and can cause severe reactions, including anaphylaxis. Proper diagnosis helps avoid complications and select effective therapy.
