About Lime Allergy Test | Citrus Allergies in Rockville
This test uses a blood sample to assess sensitization to lime proteins.
IgE antibodies are part of the immune system's response to normally harmless substances. When a person is sensitized to lime, IgE antibodies specific to lime proteins can be detected in the bloodstream.
A positive result indicates sensitization, meaning the immune system has produced IgE against lime. Sensitization does not always correspond to clinical symptoms, so results are interpreted alongside a person's history and physical findings.
Lime belongs to the citrus family, and reactions to one citrus fruit may occur alongside reactions to others. Cross-reactivity between citrus species is possible, which is why testing may be considered together with a broader evaluation.
