About Squid Allergy Test | Seafood Allergies in Martinez
Squid allergy testing is a focused blood test that examines the immune system's response to a specific seafood allergen.
The test detects IgE antibodies that bind to proteins found in squid. IgE is the class of antibody most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions, which is why it is the target of this assay.
Squid is a cephalopod and is distinct from crustaceans such as shrimp, crab, and lobster, as well as from finned fish. Cross-reactivity between squid and other seafood can occur, but it is not guaranteed, so a specific squid test provides information that a general seafood panel may not.
Results are reported as a quantitative IgE level and are interpreted alongside a person's history of symptoms. A detectable antibody level indicates sensitization, while the diagnosis of an allergy depends on whether symptoms occur after exposure.
