Welcome to the Allergy Testing Clinic at ASET Hospital, dedicated to providing advanced diagnostics and tailored treatment plans for allergies.
Our clinic employs expert technologies and methodologies to diagnose and manage allergic reactions effectively.
Types of Allergy Tests Offered:
- Skin Prick Testing (SPT): This test checks for immediate allergic reactions to as many as 40 different substances at once and is safe for all age groups.
- Intradermal Testing: More sensitive than SPT, this test is used primarily for detecting environmental allergies.
- Patch Testing: Used to identify substances that cause contact dermatitis. This involves placing patches with allergens on the skin for 48 hours.
- Blood Testing (Specific IgE): This test measures the level of IgE antibodies to specific allergens in the blood, which is useful for those who cannot undergo skin tests.
