Corn, Grass (g202) IgE
Order Code: CORNG
Test Summary
This test quantifies an individual's IgE response to corn as a grass (corn pollen). Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation.
