The AL, AR, LA and MS Top Allergies Test Panel is a blood test that checks for allergic sensitization to common allergens in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. It is ordered when a person has ongoing allergy symptoms and a clinician wants to identify which specific allergens may be triggering them.
What it measures
- Total IgE — A general antibody linked to allergic responses.
- Specific IgE to tree pollen — Proteins from trees common in the region.
- Specific IgE to grass pollen — Proteins from grasses that release pollen seasonally.
- Specific IgE to weed pollen — Proteins from weeds such as ragweed.
- Specific IgE to mold spores — Fungal particles that can grow in humid climates.
- Specific IgE to dust mite — Tiny organisms found in household dust.
Who it is for
A primary care clinician, allergist, or immunologist typically orders this panel. It may be used when symptoms suggest seasonal or year-round allergies.
Preparation
No fasting is required. Tell your clinician about any medications you take, because some drugs can affect test results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as levels of specific IgE antibodies, often grouped by allergen. A clinician interprets these levels alongside your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
