Allergen, Individual-Food Grape Angoor (Vitis vinifera) F259

The Allergen, Individual-Food Grape Angoor (Vitis vinifera) F259 is a targeted allergy test that detects specific IgE sensitization to grape (Vitis vinifera). Performed on a blood sample collected at home by a trained phlebotomist, the assay identifies immune sensitization that may indicate a risk of allergic reactions to fresh grapes, raisins, grape-derived products or wine components. Results are processed in accredited laboratories and delivered with clear interpretation to help guide safe dietary choices and clinical follow-up in Dubai and across the UAE.

This test is useful for people who experience immediate symptoms (hives, oral itching, swelling, shortness of breath), recurrent unexplained reactions after consuming grape products, or suspected oral allergy syndrome related to pollen-food cross-reactivity. It supports clinicians in confirming sensitization, planning oral food challenges if needed, advising elimination or avoidance strategies, and informing management for patients with asthma, eczema, or multiple food allergies. While a positive sIgE indicates sensitization, clinical correlation with history or supervised challenge by an allergy specialist is recommended to confirm true clinical allergy.

Home collection requires a small venous blood draw performed at your residence or workplace in Dubai; no fasting is typically required. Be aware of potential cross-reactivity with related fruit or pollen allergens which can produce positive results without clinical symptoms. If you are undergoing allergen immunotherapy, biologic treatments, or have recent severe allergic reactions, inform the requesting clinician to ensure appropriate timing and interpretation of the test. Always review results with a qualified healthcare provider for personalized advice and next steps.
