Allergen, Individual-Food Almond Badam (Amygdalus Communis) F20

The Allergen, Individual-Food Almond Badam (Amygdalus Communis) F20 test detects specific IgE antibodies directed against almond proteins, identifying sensitisation that can indicate an increased risk of allergic reactions on exposure. Performed on a small blood sample collected at home in Dubai, the sample is analysed in an accredited laboratory to deliver objective, quantitative results that help clinicians and patients make informed dietary and safety decisions.

This test is useful for confirming suspected almond allergy after symptoms such as hives, swelling, oral itching, gastrointestinal upset, respiratory symptoms, or anaphylaxis following almond exposure, and for clarifying cross‑reactivity with other tree nuts. Results should be interpreted alongside clinical history by a healthcare professional; a positive specific IgE indicates sensitisation but does not always predict reaction severity, while a negative result makes IgE‑mediated almond allergy less likely.
