What it measures
- Latex-specific IgE antibodies — An antibody made by the immune system that can trigger allergic reactions to latex.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels, sometimes used for context.
- Cross-reactive food allergens — Some people with latex allergy also react to certain fruits; this may be checked separately.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed for this blood test. Timing does not usually matter, but tell your clinician about any medications you take.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level of latex-specific IgE, often as a number or a class (for example, negative, low, or high). A clinician interprets the result along with your symptoms and history; a positive test alone does not always mean you have a clinical allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
