About Clam Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Severn
Clam allergy testing examines the immune system's response to proteins found in clams.
Clams are bivalve mollusks and a common type of shellfish. Allergic reactions occur when the immune system identifies specific proteins in clams as harmful and produces IgE antibodies against them.
The test uses a blood sample to measure the level of clam-specific IgE antibodies. Elevated levels may indicate sensitization, though a diagnosis of true allergy requires correlation with clinical history and symptoms.
Shellfish allergies can involve mollusks such as clams, oysters, and mussels, as well as crustaceans like shrimp and crab. Some individuals may be allergic to one group and tolerate the other, while others react to both.
