The Banana IgE test is essential for diagnosing banana allergies by detecting specific IgE antibodies in the serum. This test helps identify the allergen responsible for allergic reactions. Here's how it works:

- Specimen Collection: Blood is drawn, and serum is isolated.
- Testing Method: Serum is mixed with banana allergen extract. If IgE antibodies are present, they bind to the extract.
- Detection: An enzyme-labeled anti-IgE antibody produces a fluorescent signal, indicating IgE levels.

Results guide allergy management, considering clinical context and potential false positives.

Understanding test results is crucial for managing banana allergies. The Banana IgE test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood to identify banana allergens. Here's how to interpret the results:

- Negative: <0.10 kU/L, no significant allergy.
- Borderline: 0.10-0.34 kU/L, possible allergy.
- Equivocal: 0.35-0.69 kU/L, potential allergy, further testing needed.
- Positive: 0.70-3.49 kU/L, likely allergy.
- Strongly Positive: 3.50-17.4 kU/L, strong allergy.
- Very Strongly Positive: 17.5-49.9 kU/L, very strong allergy.
- Extremely Strongly Positive: >50.0 kU/L, extremely strong allergy.

Results should be considered alongside clinical history for accurate diagnosis.
