Allergen, Individual-Food Strawberry Fragaria vesca F44

The Allergen, Individual-Food Strawberry Fragaria vesca F44 test is a targeted blood assay that measures specific IgE antibodies to the strawberry allergen Fragaria vesca (F44). Collected via a simple at‑home blood draw in Dubai by a trained phlebotomist, the sample is sent to an accredited laboratory for quantitative immunoassay analysis to determine sensitisation levels.

This test is important for anyone who has experienced allergic reactions after consuming strawberries or who needs confirmation before starting or stopping an elimination diet. Results help clinicians and patients make informed dietary decisions, assess risk of severe reactions, and plan appropriate avoidance strategies or further allergy management in the UAE clinical context.
