The fruit mixture test is a blood allergy test
The fruit mixture test determines 4 allergens:
- strawberry,
- pear,
- citrus,
- pineapple,
The test involves the determination of IgE antibodies in the blood and is
performed when an allergy to fruit is suspected. The advantage of the test
is that antihistamines do not need to be discontinued
The blood allergen test is also used for
qualification for desensitization of fruit allergy.
It is also recommended for the diagnosis of allergenic agents in children
under the age of 4 years.
