What Is This Test?

Phadiatop is a screening blood test that checks for IgE sensitisation to a mix of the most common inhalant allergens (dust mites, pollens, moulds, animal dander) suitable for children under 5.

Why this test is performed?

Tells whether an allergic cause is likely for symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, wheezing or itchy eyes, before more detailed (individual allergen) testing is done.

Who should take this test?

Sneezing, runny nose, wheezing, itchy eyes, skin rash/hives, or reactions after eating certain foods or taking medicines.

Test Preparation

No fasting needed.
