Allergy Test Results

Coby's blood allergy testing results are finally back! He is allergic to quite a few things! Thankfully, he is not allergic to human or cat dander! We will continue with the Atopica pills to control these allergies & we have a follow up appointment with the Dermatologist next month.

Explanation of Results:
Classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 represent levels of IgE antibody specific for the respective allergen. Consider class 2 level & greater for allergen immunotherapy.

Class 6 – Ultra high level
Class 5 – Ultra high level
Class 4 – Very high level
Class 3 – High level
Class 2 – Low level
Class 1 – Very low level
Class 0 – Absent or undetectable
