Allergen, Individual-Weed pollen English Plantain Plantago Lanceolata W9

This test detects allergen-specific IgE antibodies to English Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) pollen to determine whether an individual is sensitised to this common weed pollen. The sample is collected via an at‑home capillary blood kit or by a phlebotomist and analysed in an accredited laboratory to provide quantitative IgE results (kU/L) and clinical interpretation. Identifying sensitivity to Plantago lanceolata helps clinicians and patients in Dubai tailor avoidance measures, medication plans, and consider immunotherapy when appropriate.

• Specific IgE — English Plantain (Plantago lanceolata)
• Specific IgE concentration (kU/L)

• Worsening asthma or cough linked to outdoor exposure
• Poor response to empirical allergy treatment and need to identify specific triggers
• Before starting allergen immunotherapy or to refine an immunotherapy plan
• When skin prick testing is contraindicated or not feasible

• Accurate identification of sensitisation to English Plantain pollen
