- Allergen-Specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) Testing_

**What is Allergen Testing?**:
Allergen testing is a diagnostic method that utilizes a panel of common allergens—substances known to trigger allergic reactions in the general population—to test a specific individual. The goal is to identify which specific allergens among the available panel elicit an allergic response in the patient’s body.

Convenience: Patients can undergo blood sampling at any time of the day without concern that the timing will affect the test results. Furthermore, the procedure requires only a single blood sample.

The 60-Allergen Screening Panel: This test analyzes a serum sample to detect the presence of allergen-specific IgE (Immunoglobulin E) antibodies in the patient’s blood. This process accurately identifies the specific agents causing allergic reactions in the body.

Interpreting Results:

- Negative Result: Indicates that the patient shows no allergic reaction to the specific allergen samples tested in the panel.
- Positive Result: Can range in severity from mild to severe, signifying that the patient is allergic to one or more of the identified allergens.

A negative result does not necessarily imply the complete absence of any allergic condition; rather, it indicates a lack of reaction to the 60 specific allergens included in this panel. The patient may still be allergic to other antigens (not included in the test), which would require further clinical examination by a physician and additional testing.

Therefore, in addition to the Allergy Panel Test, physicians may prescribe complementary methods such as skin prick tests, patch tests, intradermal tests, or confirmatory tests to precisely pinpoint the underlying cause of the allergy.

**Why is Allergy Testing Necessary?**:
According to statistics in Vietnam, approximately 20% of the population suffers from allergic conditions. The disease typically manifests before the age of 20 (accounting for 80% of cases), with the average age of onset falling between 8 and 11 years old. The prevalence rate peaks in the 12-15 age group, with a significantly higher frequency of occurrence in urban areas compared to rural regions.

Beyond Vietnam, the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI) reports that allergies affect over 50 million people living in the United States. To date, respiratory allergens remain the most common type.

The World Allergy Organization (WAO) estimates that asthma is responsible for 250,000 deaths annually. These fatalities could be prevented with appropriate allergy care, as asthma is clinically considered a stage of allergic disease.

Conclusion: Therefore, allergy testing is essential for identifying the specific allergen responsible for triggering symptoms. Clinical screening for causes, combined with allergen panel testing, serves as the most expedient method for early detection. This enables timely treatment and the development of an appropriate prevention and management plan to effectively address your allergy concerns.
