What it measures

  • Beech pollen-specific IgE — Your immune system makes this antibody if you are sensitized to beech pollen.
  • Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels, sometimes included for context.
  • Other tree pollen IgEs — May be tested together because many tree pollens cause similar symptoms.

Results and what they mean
