Making allergy testing routineEnhance patient care with a simple blood test for specific allergens
Allergies are common and affect people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities. Reported allergies are more prevalent than ever and are sending increasing numbers of people to hospitals on a global scale. The WHO estimates that 20% of the global population suffers from IgE-mediated allergic diseases, placing heavy financial strains on clinician and hospital resources, particularly in emergent situations.¹
Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe and manifest themselves as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic eczema/atopic dermatitis, or anaphylaxis. These manifestations may vary between adults and children. Hospitalization for allergy-related anaphylaxis is on the rise in the U.S., Australia, Europe, and other regions.²
