What this test is

This test measures immunoglobulin E, or IgE, antibodies that your immune system may make against proteins found in mosquito saliva. Many of those salivary proteins can trigger allergic responses in people who are sensitized. The test is a type of specific IgE allergy blood test.

What it measures

  • Mosquito-specific IgE — Reflects immune system sensitization to mosquito saliva proteins
  • Total IgE — Sometimes included as a general measure of allergic antibody levels

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small sample of blood, usually from a vein in your arm, using 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 someone has unusually large, persistent, or severe skin reactions after mosquito bites. It can also be used to help evaluate whether mosquito bites are contributing to allergy-like symptoms.

Preparation

Preparation is generally minimal, but you should follow the instructions provided by the collection laboratory. Ask the lab if any medications or timing considerations apply to your situation.

How results are reported

Results are typically reported as a numerical level or a class score for mosquito-specific IgE, along with the laboratory's reference range. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, so results should be interpreted in the context of the specific lab's report and your symptoms.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications could affect the test
  • How and when results will be shared with you
  • Any specific preparation steps required by the collection lab
