However, especially in children cause anxiety and fear. Usually while testing
with the inner face of the arm and the tip of the needle containing the
allergen extracts is dripping into the holes are drilled in a small way. After
15-20 minutes the redness and swelling that occurs due to which the person
evaluated is found to be allergic to. This test is successful in the
identification of respiratory allergens, but the sensitivity in the detection
of food allergy is low. 3-10 days Allergy pills that are used in the pre test
and depression medications should be discontinued. Cut drugs, pregnancy ,if
there is a risk of anaphylaxis, skin tests if you have skin lesions should not
be done.
Olumus specific antibodies against allergens in the blood, blood tests (specific IgE) is done by measuring. For this test a small amount of blood from the vein is used. The specificity of this test is very high. Numerous allergens and it is possible to scan a tube with blood from the patient. These tests are used prior to discontinuation of this test is not necessary and does not have side effects. Which allergens specific IgE in the blood (specific IgE) according to the patient's history and clinical findings will be measured when deciding. Panels are created or that may be allergens (respiratory panel such as food) or are analyzed for individual allergens.
For example, childhood food allergies, 90% of 5 major nutrients (milk, eggs, peanuts, chocolate, wheat) depends on. Children can be looked up directly at them. Respiratory allergies with most household dust, pollen, cat and dog epithelium, cockroach depends on. The allergens may be enough to look at the story in this direction only. According to the results of scanning are expanded, and all of these I received for the same blood sample is used. The test result is negative, positive, strong positive allergic given as.
Allergy Treatment
The first step in treating allergies and identified the allergen is avoided as much as possible. Your doctor also the start of an anti-allergy drugs, medications that reduce inflammation, and cortisone-containing drugs can be used. Vaccines and allergy desensitization treatments should necessarily be administered by a doctor who specializes in allergies.
The inevitable that leads to allergic symptoms and also genetic factors, exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy and infancy as well as in children, people having a pet, a common childhood viral infection, birth defects, increased susceptibility to allergic that we should know and accordingly we need to take precautions.
