O teste ImmunoCAP™ Phadiatop™ mede os níveis de anticorpos IgE contra uma mistura bem equilibrada de alérgenos inalantes comuns e ajuda a confirmar ou descartar alergias atópicas, uma tendência a produzir resposta mediada por IgE a proteínas no ambiente. O ImmunoCAP Phadiatop Infant, otimizado para crianças com menos de 5 anos, inclui alérgenos alimentares que são importantes para essa faixa etária.1-5
Esses testes podem ajudar os médicos a:
Os testes ImmunoCAP Phadiatop podem ser realizados com poucas limitações. Ao contrário dos testes cutâneos (SPT) tradicionais, o exame de sangue ImmunoCAP:
Para ajudar a identificar os alérgenos que provocam sintomas e os valores quantitativos, recomenda-se testar novamente a amostra com o ImmunoCAP para IgE específica contra alérgenos completos apropriado.
