Live Virgina Oak Allergy Test in Mississippi

The Live Virginia Oak Allergy Test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood to proteins from Virginia oak pollen. It is ordered when a person has seasonal allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, or itchy eyes that may be related to oak trees.

What it measures

Specific IgE to Virginia oak pollen — Amount of antibody in your blood that reacts to oak pollen.
Total IgE — Overall level of allergy-related antibody, which can help interpret the specific result.
Other tree pollen IgE — Sometimes tested together to see if symptoms are due to other trees.

Who it is for

This test is usually ordered by an allergist, primary care clinician, or other healthcare provider for people with seasonal allergy symptoms that may be caused by oak pollen.

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally before the blood draw.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a number that indicates how much specific IgE was found, often with a reference range. Your clinician interprets this number along with your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not mean you have an allergy. This information is not medical advice.
