Egg White Allergen

Egg White Allergen (F1) IgE refers to a test that measures the amount of specific IgE antibodies in the blood, indicating sensitization to proteins found in egg white. Specifically, it detects antibodies against various proteins in egg white, which are potential allergens.

Associated Conditions

Allergic disease is one of the most common chronic health conditions in the world. People with a family history of allergies have an increased risk of developing allergic disease. Hay fever (allergic rhinitis), eczema, hives, asthma, and food allergy are some types of allergic diseases. Allergy symptoms can range from mild to a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).
