Allergen, Individual-Food Garlic Lehsoon (Allium Sativum) F47

The Allergen, Individual-Food Garlic Lehsoon (Allium Sativum) F47 test is a home-accessible laboratory assay designed to detect sensitisation to garlic by measuring specific IgE antibodies in a blood sample. Using validated immunoassay techniques, it quantifies IgE reactivity to Allium sativum to help identify whether garlic is a likely trigger for immediate-type allergic reactions.

This test is useful for residents of Dubai who experience hives, angioedema, throat tightness, gastrointestinal upset, or unexplained allergic symptoms after eating garlic-containing foods. Results support clinicians and dietitians in recommending elimination diets, planning safe meal choices, and guiding further diagnostic steps; positive results indicate sensitisation and should be interpreted together with clinical history and specialist advice.
