About Allergy screen (antibiotics)

What is the Allergy Screen (Antibiotics)?

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a type of antibody typically produced by the immune system to protect against pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and parasites. Some people have a hyperactive immune system, which produces IgE in response to certain antibiotics. This process mistakes harmless molecules for pathogens, causing a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction if the antibiotics are administered. Allergies are thought to affect over 1 in 4 people in the UK at some point during their lifetime. 

Why take the test?

This test is to identify antibiotic allergies. It measures the levels of IgE in the blood, along with comprehensive screening for reactions to a variety of antibiotics.
