About Citrus Fruit Allergy Test Panel | Testing in Kenner
Allergies to citrus fruits are less common than allergies to other foods, but they can produce reactions ranging from mild oral itching to more systemic symptoms.
The panel screens for IgE antibodies, the immune proteins that trigger immediate allergic responses. Each fruit in the panel is tested individually, so results can show whether a reaction is specific to one citrus fruit or spans several.
Citrus fruits contain a variety of proteins and other compounds that may act as allergens. Some people react to the fruit itself, while others react to components in the peel, juice, or pulp. Cross-reactivity between different citrus fruits is possible because they share similar proteins.
A positive result indicates sensitization to a particular citrus fruit, but it does not confirm a clinical allergy on its own. A healthcare provider interprets the results alongside symptom history and may recommend additional evaluation or an oral food challenge.
