What this test is

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood that react to brome grass and its pollen. IgE is an immune protein that can be produced when a person is sensitized to an allergen such as grass pollen. The test is typically used alongside a person's symptom history and other allergy testing.

What it measures

Brome grass specific IgE — Reflects the level of IgE antibodies in the blood that bind to brome grass pollen proteins.
Total IgE (if included) — Sometimes measured alongside specific IgE to give a general picture of allergic antibody levels.
Other grass pollen specific IgEs (if included) — May be tested together to see if reactions occur to related grasses such as timothy or orchard grass.

What the test involves

A blood sample is collected, usually from a vein in the arm during a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test when a person reports symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or wheezing that could be related to grass pollen exposure. It can help support an allergy evaluation when used with a person's medical history and other findings.

Preparation

How results are reported

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is brome grass and why does it matter for allergies?

Brome grass is a common grass found in lawns, fields, and roadsides. Its pollen can become airborne during its pollinating season and may trigger allergy symptoms in sensitive people. Testing for specific IgE to brome grass can help a clinician understand whether it plays a role in your symptoms.

Does a positive result mean I am definitely allergic?

A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE antibodies to brome grass, which is called sensitization. Sensitization does not always cause symptoms, so clinicians interpret results together with your history and physical exam. Only a clinician can determine whether you have an allergy.

How long does it take to get results?

Turnaround time is typically one to three business days, but it can vary by laboratory and how the sample is handled. Ask the collection lab for an estimated timeframe. Results are usually sent to the ordering clinician, who will discuss them with you.

Can I take this test if I am already taking allergy medication?

Some medications, such as antihistamines, can affect certain allergy tests, but this blood test is generally less affected than skin testing. Tell the lab and your clinician about all medications and supplements you take. They can advise whether any changes are needed before testing.
