The Italian Cypress Allergy Test is a blood test that checks for an allergic response to Italian cypress pollen. It is ordered when a person has allergy symptoms that seem to be triggered by this tree, especially during its pollen season.

What it measures

  • Total IgE — Overall level of allergy-related antibodies in the blood.
  • Italian Cypress-specific IgE — Antibodies that target Italian cypress pollen; higher levels suggest sensitivity.
  • Cross-reactive pollen IgE — Antibodies that may react to similar pollens from other trees or grasses.

Who it is for

This test is usually ordered by an allergist or primary care clinician for people with seasonal sneezing, runny nose, or itchy eyes who live in or visit areas where Italian cypress trees grow.

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is needed. The blood sample can be collected at any time of day.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a number for each specific IgE marker, often with a reference range. A higher number means a greater chance of allergy, but it does not confirm a diagnosis on its own. A clinician interprets the results along with your symptoms and history. This is general information, not medical advice.
