The Southern AZ and CA Allergy Test Panel is a blood test that checks for allergic sensitization to substances common in the southern Arizona and California regions, such as pollens, dust mites, and molds. It is usually ordered when a person has ongoing allergy symptoms and a clinician wants to identify which specific triggers may be involved.

What it measures

  • Specific IgE antibodies — Proteins your immune system makes in response to a particular allergen.
  • Regional pollens — Tree, grass, and weed pollens common to southern Arizona and California.
  • Dust mites — Tiny organisms in house dust that often trigger year-round symptoms.
  • Molds — Fungal spores found indoors and outdoors that can cause allergic reactions.
  • Animal dander — Proteins from pets such as cats and dogs.

Who it is for

A primary care clinician or allergist typically orders this panel for people with persistent sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or asthma-like symptoms. It can also help when symptoms seem tied to a certain season or location.

Preparation

No fasting is required for this blood test. Tell your clinician about any antihistamines or other medications you take, because some may affect allergy testing.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a level or class for each allergen tested, which shows whether sensitization is likely. A clinician interprets these results alongside your symptoms and history, since a positive result alone does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified clinician.
