About Silkworm Silk Allergy Test | Occupational in Bristol
Occupational exposure to silkworm silk can occur during textile production, handling, and processing.
Silkworm silk is composed primarily of fibroin and sericin proteins. Sericin, the gum that binds the silk fibers, is a common source of allergic reactions. When workers handle raw silk, reeling, spinning, or weaving, they may inhale or come into contact with these proteins.
Allergic sensitization to silk can present as rhinitis, asthma, conjunctivitis, or contact dermatitis. Symptoms often correlate with the intensity and duration of exposure. In occupational settings, early recognition of sensitization can guide workplace modifications and reduce further exposure.
This test detects specific IgE antibodies in the blood. It is used alongside clinical history and physical examination. Results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider, as sensitization does not always equate to clinical allergy.
