What this test is
The AL, AR, LA and MS Top Allergies Test Panel is a regional allergy blood test that screens for 23 allergens prevalent in the western half of the South. It measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to common environmental and food allergens. The panel is designed to reflect local exposure patterns in those four states.
What it measures
- Specific IgE to common regional allergens — reflects sensitization to allergens like pollens, molds, dust mites, and animal dander
- Total IgE — sometimes included as a general marker of allergic tendency
- Individual allergen components — each of the 23 allergens is measured separately to show which ones trigger a response
What the test involves
A standard blood draw from a vein in your arm is required. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this panel to help identify allergic triggers in people with persistent allergy symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or skin reactions. It is often used when a regional allergy profile is suspected based on where a person lives or has lived.
Preparation
No special preparation is typically needed, but you should follow the collection lab's instructions. Check with the lab about any medications or fasting requirements before your appointment.
How results are reported
Results are reported as a numeric level for each allergen, often alongside a qualitative interpretation such as negative, low, moderate, or high. Reference ranges and reporting formats vary by laboratory, so your clinician will interpret your results in context.
