Description
Quantitative determination of specific antibodies, class E immunoglobulins, in the blood appearing in the presence of an allergic reaction to cod. Performing this test is safe for the patient compared to skin tests (in vivo), as it excludes the patient's contact with the allergen. Taking antihistamine drugs and age characteristics do not affect the quality and accuracy of the study. This analysis is used: for the diagnosis of sensitization to cod in patients with allergic diseases (food allergy, acute and chronic urticaria, angioedema, atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis); for assessing the risk of developing allergic reactions to cod. This analysis is prescribed: in the presence of the following symptoms indicating an allergic character when consuming cod: redness and itching of the skin, rash, angioneurotic edema, laryngeal edema, cough and bronchospasm, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea; in case of polyvalent sensitization; in case of questionable results of skin testing and provocative tests.
