Allergen, Individual-Food Banana Kela (Musa Spp.) F92

The Allergen, Individual-Food Banana Kela (Musa Spp.) F92 is an at‑home diagnostic test that detects and quantifies specific IgE antibodies to banana (Musa spp.) to identify sensitisation and allergy risk. The test uses a blood sample collected at home (capillary or venous as required) and laboratory analysis to report quantitative IgE values and reactivity classes that help guide clinical decision‑making.

This test is useful for people who experience immediate symptoms after eating banana (oral itching, hives, swelling, gastrointestinal upset, respiratory symptoms or anaphylaxis) and for assessing potential cross‑reactivity with latex or other fruits. Results support personalised dietary advice, emergency planning, and clinician-guided management in Dubai and across the UAE; always review results with an allergy specialist or your treating physician for diagnosis and treatment planning.
