Question
Which test is mostly favoured for testing allergy, prick test, or blood test? Why?
Answer in Brief
Solution
Blood test is mostly favoured for testing allergy.
Blood Testing: A sample of the patient’s blood is sent to a laboratory for analysis. Multiple allergens can be detected with a single blood sample.
The test measures the concentration of specific antibodies in the blood. The quantitative allergy blood result can help determine what a patient is allergic to, help predict and follow the disease development, estimate the risk of a severe reaction, and explain cross-reactivity.
