Puerto Rico Allergy Tests use a blood sample to check for immune-system reactions to common allergens. They are ordered when a person has ongoing or unexplained allergy-like symptoms and skin testing is not practical. Results can help a clinician identify possible triggers.

What it measures

  • Total IgE — Overall level of allergy-related antibody in the blood.
  • Specific IgE to foods — Antibody response to foods such as milk, egg, peanut, or shellfish.
  • Specific IgE to aeroallergens — Antibody response to dust mites, pollens, molds, or pet dander.
  • Specific IgE to insect venoms — Antibody response to stings from bees, wasps, or fire ants.
  • Specific IgE to latex — Antibody response to natural rubber latex proteins.

Who it is for

A primary care clinician or allergist typically orders this test for adults or children with persistent sneezing, rash, breathing symptoms, or suspected food reactions. It may also be used when skin-prick testing is not suitable.

Preparation

No fasting is required. Tell the lab about any antihistamines or other medicines you take, because some can affect allergy testing.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as antibody levels, often grouped as negative, low, moderate, or high. A clinician interprets them 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.
