Valabilă cu chemare la domiciliu Allergen: Beef (Bos taurus) is an animal-derived food allergen containing proteins (including serum albumin) that can trigger allergic reactions. It is more common in children but may persist into adulthood. Allergic reactions may occur to both raw and cooked meat.
Indications for testing
• Suspected food allergy after consumption of beef
• Skin reactions (rash, itching, urticaria)
• Gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea)
• Respiratory symptoms (runny nose, cough, difficulty breathing)
• Atopic dermatitis of unclear origin
• Personalized diet planning
Procedure
The test is performed by measuring specific IgE antibodies to beef allergens in the blood. Blood is drawn from a vein; the procedure takes a few minutes and does not require complex manipulation.
Interpretation of results
- Negative result - low probability of allergy
- Positive result - presence of sensitization to beef
Results should be interpreted by a physician in the context of clinical findings.
Additional information
Cross-reactivity with other types of meat (e.g., veal, lamb) is possible
In some patients, allergy may be associated with “alpha-gal syndrome” (reaction to galactose-α-1,3-galactose)
If allergy is confirmed, elimination of the product from the diet is recommended
Pregătirea:
• Blood test should be taken on an empty stomach (preferably 6–8 hours fasting)
• Drinking water is allowed
