Allergy-related lab tests help diagnose allergic reactions, identify allergens, and assess immune system responses.

General Allergy Tests:

1. Total IgE (Immunoglobulin E): Measures overall allergic sensitivity.
2. Specific IgE Test: Detects antibodies for specific allergens (e.g., pollen, dust, food, pet dander).

Skin Allergy Tests (Alternative to Blood Tests):

3. Skin Prick Test (SPT): Identifies allergens by placing extracts on the skin and checking for reactions.
4. Intradermal Skin Test: More sensitive than SPT, used for drug or venom allergies.
5. Patch Test: Diagnoses contact dermatitis (e.g., metal, latex, or fragrance allergies).

Food Allergy & Intolerance Tests:

6. Food-Specific IgE Test: Identifies allergic reactions to specific foods (e.g., nuts, milk, eggs).
7. Food Sensitivity Panel (IgG Test): Evaluates food intolerances, though its reliability is debated.
8. Oral Food Challenge (Clinical Test): Performed under medical supervision to confirm food allergies.

Respiratory & Environmental Allergy Tests:

9. Mold Allergy Test: Detects IgE response to mold spores.
10. Dust Mite Allergy Test: Checks for hypersensitivity to dust mites.
11. Pollen Allergy Test: Identifies seasonal allergies (e.g., grass, tree, weed pollen).
12. Animal Dander Allergy Test: Detects reactions to pet fur, saliva, or skin flakes.

Drug & Chemical Allergy Tests:

13. Penicillin Allergy Test: Identifies hypersensitivity to penicillin.
14. Aspirin & NSAID Allergy Test: Checks for aspirin-induced allergies.
15. Local Anesthetic Allergy Test: Detects reactions to anesthetics like lidocaine.

Insect & Venom Allergy Tests:

16. Bee & Wasp Venom Allergy Test: Determines allergic reactions to insect stings.
17. Fire Ant Allergy Test: Detects venom-specific IgE levels.
