The Allergen – BASIL by EIA, Serum test measures specific IgE antibodies against basil (Ocimum basilicum) in the blood. It helps identify whether basil is triggering allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Why is this Test Done?
Diagnose basil-related food allergies
Investigate unexplained allergic symptoms after consuming basil-containing foods
Support allergy management and dietary planning
Identify potential triggers in individuals with multiple food allergies
