- Bermuda grass specific IgE — Antibody level showing sensitivity to Bermuda grass pollen.
- Total IgE — Overall antibody level that can support allergy evaluation.
- Other grass specific IgE — Checks reactions to related grasses such as timothy or rye.
- Common pollen specific IgE — Screens for tree, weed, or other pollen triggers.
- Control markers — Confirm the test is working and help rule out false results.

Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level or class for each marker, often from negative to strongly positive. A clinician interprets these numbers alongside your symptoms and history, because a positive result alone does not always mean you have symptoms. This is general information, not medical advice.
