Pyrus communis Ab.IgE

This test detects IgE antibodies against pear proteins in your blood, indicating an allergic response to pears. IgE antibodies trigger immediate allergic reactions when you encounter the allergen. A positive result suggests you may experience symptoms like itching, swelling, or hives when eating fresh pears. Pear allergies often occur in people with birch pollen allergies due to protein similarities (oral allergy syndrome). Symptoms are typically mild and localized to the mouth, though severe reactions are rare. Testing helps confirm suspected pear allergies and guides dietary decisions.
