Diagnosis

The first step in being able to optimally treat any allergy is getting a definitive diagnosis.

At AVPL we manufacture allergen extracts for use in the diagnosis of specific allergies In coalition with the patient’s medical history, a skin prick test can show whether a person has an allergy and, if so, which particular allergen is responsible for their symptoms

Testing by skin prick test or blood test

A skin prick test provokes an allergic reaction by introducing a tiny amount of allergen – the substance which doctors think you may be allergic to – to the skin using a needle. Where an allergy exists, the skin will react and something similar to a mosquito bite will appear where the allergen was applied.
A blood test can be used on its own, or to support the results of the skin prick test. The blood is tested for immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which are substances produced by the body when there is an allergic reaction. If high levels of IgE antibodies are found in the blood and related symptoms are also present, then this will help to confirm the diagnosis.
