What is Anisakis IgE?

This test measures the level of IgE antibodies specific to Anisakis, a parasite found in raw or undercooked fish. It helps diagnose an allergic reaction to this parasite.

Why is this test important?

A positive Anisakis IgE test indicates sensitization to the Anisakis parasite, which can cause allergic symptoms ranging from hives and angioedema to severe anaphylaxis after consuming contaminated seafood. It's crucial for identifying the cause of such reactions.
