Allergy, Egg White

Hypro Diagnostics offers the Egg Allergy Test, a crucial diagnostic tool for detecting allergies to hen eggs, primarily caused by egg white proteins. While most people outgrow this allergy, it can persist into adulthood, and in severe cases, it may lead to anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention, with symptoms such as abdominal pain, rapid pulse, and difficulty breathing. Common egg allergy symptoms include digestive issues, hives, nasal congestion, and asthma signs. The Egg Allergy Test, also known as the egg white IgE test, identifies allergen-specific IgE antibodies through a blood sample. This safer and faster method, available through Hypro Diagnostics, aids in accurate diagnosis, ensuring proper management and emergency medication for individuals with egg allergies.
