What this test is

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood that are produced in response to sheep sorrel pollen. It is a type of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E test, often used as part of a broader allergy evaluation. The test helps assess sensitization to sheep sorrel, a common weed pollen allergen.

What it measures

  • Sheep sorrel specific IgE — Reflects the level of IgE antibodies directed against sheep sorrel pollen
  • Total IgE (if included) — May be measured to provide context, though it is not specific to sheep sorrel
  • Other weed pollens (if panel) — Sometimes tested together to check for multiple weed allergies

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, typically from a vein in your arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test when a person reports allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, or itchy eyes that could be related to weed pollen exposure. It is often used along with a medical history and other tests to help identify allergic triggers.

Preparation

How results are reported
