The White Oak Allergy Test is a blood test that checks for allergic sensitization to white oak pollen, a common tree pollen in many parts of the United States. It is usually ordered when a person has seasonal allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, or itchy eyes during oak pollen season.

What it measures

  • White oak pollen-specific IgE — An antibody linked to allergic reactions to white oak pollen.
  • Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels in the blood.
  • Other tree pollen-specific IgE — Checks for reactions to related trees such as birch or cedar.
  • Common aeroallergen-specific IgE — May include grass, weed, mold, or dust mite allergens.

Who it is for

A primary care clinician or allergist typically orders this test for people with recurring or seasonal allergy symptoms. It may also be used to help distinguish allergies from other causes of nasal or eye symptoms.

Preparation

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

Results and what they mean
