This test measures the level of IgE antibodies specific to common silver birch in the blood. Elevated IgE levels indicate an allergic reaction to silver birch pollen.
The test is primarily used to diagnose and monitor allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and allergic asthma, which can be triggered by exposure to silver birch pollen. It helps identify individuals who may benefit from allergen avoidance measures, immunotherapy, or specific medication to manage their symptoms.
