Order Citrus Fruit Allergy Test Panel | TestingCitrus fruits are a frequent component of diets and personal-care products, yet they can provoke immune-mediated reactions in susceptible individuals. The Citrus Fruit Allergy Test Panel measures specific IgE antibodies against five common citrus varieties, helping to clarify whether a sensitivity exists.
About Citrus Fruit Allergy Test Panel | Testing in Roanoke
This panel evaluates allergic sensitization to oranges, limes, lemons, tangerines, and grapefruits.
The test detects immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood. When the immune system mistakenly identifies a citrus protein as a threat, it can produce IgE that binds to that protein. Measuring these antibodies provides objective evidence of sensitization.
Citrus allergy symptoms may include oral itching or tingling, hives, swelling of the lips or tongue, and in rare cases, more severe reactions. Because citrus is present in many foods and beverages, identifying a specific trigger can help individuals manage their exposure.
Results are reported for each of the five fruits individually, allowing a clinician to see which, if any, citrus varieties elicit an antibody response. This information is used alongside a medical history to guide diagnosis and avoidance strategies.
