Peach (f95)0708
Peach – a stone fruit with white, yellow, or red flesh, grown in warm temperate regions of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It contains antioxidants, vitamins C and A, and belongs to the Rosaceae family, which often causes food allergies in teenagers and adults. Peach can cause sensitization and allergic reactions, including cross-reactivity with other plant products such as apples, apricots, carrots, cherries, nuts, and peanuts.
FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay, ImmunoCAP (Solid-phase Immunofluorescence)) – quantitative determination.
- Diagnosis of allergic reactions to peach.
- Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergy development.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing therapy.
- Evaluation of sensitization level after allergen avoidance.
- Assessment of immune system status.
- Blood should be drawn in the morning on an empty stomach or 4 hours after eating.
- Drinking plain still water is allowed.
- Do not smoke for 30 minutes before the test.
- For children under 1 year – no food 30-40 minutes before the test; for children 1-5 years – 2-3 hours fasting.
Peach is a common allergen that can cause mild symptoms such as oral allergy syndrome (OAS) or severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Different peach proteins carry varying risks of triggering reactions. Some patients may tolerate cooked or peeled peach, while others must avoid it completely. The test identifies specific sensitization markers (rPru p1, rPru p3, rPru p4, rPru p7, MUXF3), helping to assess the risk and nature of the allergy.
