Alergy tests

If you want to find out if you are allergic to a particular substance, it is important to go to the allergist as soon as possible, to be tested and to confirm or not the allergy diagnosis.
Allergy tests can also identify certain substances that trigger allergic reactions. The results of an allergy test can help the allergist establish an allergy treatment plan, which may include avoiding the allergen, medication or immunotherapy.
Blood tests – allergen-specific tests of IgE antibodies – are especially useful for those who should not undergo skin tests. These tests are quite sensitive and highly accurate, providing safety to the patient and the possibility of correct treatment.
However, the most important step in preventing allergic reactions and reducing symptoms is to identify and avoid allergy triggers.
