✅ Cross-Reactivity – Related allergens that may also trigger symptoms

Types of Allergy Test Results
1. Skin Prick Test (SPT) Results 🩹
In an SPT, a tiny amount of allergen is applied to the skin. If you are allergic, a small red bump (wheal) will form.
🔍 How to Interpret Results?
✔ No Reaction – No allergy detected
✔ Small Red Bump (3-5mm) – Mild allergy
✔ Larger Bump (6-10mm) – Moderate allergy
✔ Significant Swelling (>10mm) – Severe allergy
2. Intradermal Test Results 💉
This test is more sensitive than SPT and is used for detecting reactions to insect stings, drugs, and other allergens.
🔍 How to Interpret Results?
✔ No Reaction – No allergy detected
✔ Mild Swelling & Redness – Low sensitivity
✔ Moderate to Large Swelling – High sensitivity; further evaluation may be needed
💡 A positive reaction in an intradermal test may require additional blood tests for confirmation.
3. IgE Blood Test Results 🩸
Measures the amount of allergen-specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in your blood.
🔍 How to Interpret Results?
📊 Results are measured in kU/L (kilounits per liter):
| IgE Level (kU/L) | Allergy Risk | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| < 0.35 | Negative | No allergic reaction detected |
| 0.35 - 0.69 | Low | Possible mild sensitivity |
| 0.70 - 3.49 | Moderate | Allergy present; symptoms may occur |
| 3.50 - 17.49 | High | Significant allergic sensitivity |
| > 17.50 | Very High | Strong allergic response; clinical symptoms likely |
💡 Higher IgE levels indicate a stronger allergic reaction, but results should be analyzed along with symptoms and clinical history.
