What this test is
The Regional Area 3 IgE allergy test panel is a blood test that screens for allergic sensitization to 23 allergens prevalent in the Southeastern United States.

The panel is designed for people living in or visiting this region.
What it measures
- Specific IgE for regional pollens — reflects sensitivity to grasses, trees, and weeds common in the Southeast
- Specific IgE for molds — indicates allergic response to mold spores prevalent in humid climates
- Specific IgE for dust mites — shows sensitivity to microscopic insects found in household dust
- Specific IgE for animal danders — detects reactions to proteins from pets such as cats and dogs
- Specific IgE for insect venoms — assesses allergic response to stings from bees, wasps, or fire ants

What the test involves
A healthcare professional collects a small sample of blood from a vein in your arm using a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this panel when a person reports allergy-like symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or breathing difficulties that could be linked to local allergens.
