The Northeast US Allergy Test is a blood test that checks for antibodies your immune system makes in response to common allergens found in the northeastern United States. It is ordered when a clinician wants to evaluate possible allergies to substances such as tree pollen, grass pollen, weed pollen, mold spores, dust mites, pet dander, or certain foods. Results can help a clinician understand whether your symptoms may be allergy-related.

What it measures

  • Total IgE — A general measure of allergy-related antibody in the blood.
  • Specific IgE to tree pollen — Checks sensitivity to trees common in the Northeast, such as birch, oak, and maple.
  • Specific IgE to grass pollen — Checks sensitivity to grasses such as timothy and Bermuda.
  • Specific IgE to weed pollen — Checks sensitivity to weeds such as ragweed and mugwort.
  • Specific IgE to mold spores — Checks sensitivity to molds such as Alternaria and Cladosporium.
  • Specific IgE to dust mites and pet dander — Checks sensitivity to indoor allergens from dust mites, cats, and dogs.

Who it is for

A primary care clinician, allergist, or other healthcare professional typically orders this test when a person has ongoing sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, wheezing, or skin reactions that may be linked to allergens.

Preparation

No fasting is required. Tell your clinician about any medications you take, because some medicines may affect allergy test results.

Results and what they mean

Results are usually reported as a numeric level for each allergen, often grouped as negative, low, moderate, or high. A clinician interprets these levels alongside your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
