birch allergy test

This test detects IgE antibodies against white birch (Betula populifolia) tree pollen in your blood. Birch pollen is a major spring allergen in temperate climates, affecting millions of people. A positive result indicates your immune system reacts to birch pollen, causing seasonal allergic rhinitis and potentially triggering oral allergy syndrome with certain raw fruits and vegetables (apple, cherry, kiwi). This test helps identify birch allergy and explains cross-reactive food reactions.

This test detects IgE antibodies against silver birch pollen allergens. Birch pollen is a common environmental allergen, especially in spring, and can trigger allergic rhinitis (hay fever), asthma, or oral allergy syndrome. A positive result suggests you're allergic to birch pollen and may also react to cross-reactive foods like apples, hazelnuts, or carrots. This test helps confirm seasonal allergies and guide symptom management strategies during high pollen seasons.
