What this test is
The IL, IA and MO Top Allergies Test is a blood test that measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to 26 specific allergens common in the central and southern Midwest. It helps identify sensitivities to regional pollens, molds, pet dander, dust mites, and certain foods. The panel is designed for people living in or visiting these areas.
What it measures
- Tree pollens (e.g., oak, maple, birch) — reflects sensitivity to common tree pollens in the region
- Grass pollens (e.g., timothy, Bermuda) — reflects sensitivity to grass pollens that peak in warmer months
- Weed pollens (e.g., ragweed, pigweed) — reflects sensitivity to weed pollens common in late summer and fall
- Molds (e.g., Alternaria, Aspergillus) — reflects sensitivity to indoor and outdoor mold spores
- Dust mites — reflects sensitivity to microscopic insects found in household dust
- Pet dander (cat, dog) — reflects sensitivity to proteins in pet skin cells and saliva
- Cockroach — reflects sensitivity to cockroach allergens
- Foods (e.g., egg, milk, peanut) — reflects sensitivity to certain common food proteins
What the test involves
A healthcare professional collects a small sample of blood, usually from a vein in your arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this test to help evaluate allergy-like symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or skin reactions. It can also help guide avoidance strategies or further testing when a regional allergy is suspected.
Preparation
No special preparation is typically needed, but you should follow the collection lab's instructions. Check with the lab about any medications or foods that might affect the test.
How results are reported
Results are reported as a level for each allergen, often with a qualitative interpretation such as negative, low, moderate, or high. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, so your results should be interpreted in the context of the lab's own ranges and your symptoms.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this allergy test?
Blood allergy tests are generally reliable for detecting sensitization, but they are not perfect. A positive result does not always mean you have symptoms, and a negative result does not rule out allergy. Your clinician will interpret the results along with your history.
Do I need to stop taking allergy medications before this test?
Some medications, especially antihistamines, can affect allergy test results. However, you should not stop any prescription medication without talking to your clinician first. The collection lab can provide specific instructions.
What does it mean if my result is positive for several allergens?
A positive result means your immune system has made IgE antibodies to that substance. It does not necessarily mean you will have an allergic reaction. Your clinician can help you understand which results are relevant to your symptoms.
Can this test diagnose a specific allergy?
This test alone cannot diagnose an allergy. It is one piece of information that your clinician uses along with your medical history and a physical exam. Only a qualified healthcare provider can diagnose an allergy.
