Overview

Bermuda Grass or Durva IgE Level is a blood test that measures the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to Bermuda grass or Durva grass in the blood. These antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to exposure to the allergen present in the grass. The test is performed by drawing a sample of blood from the patient and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. The test can help diagnose allergies to these types of grass and guide the treatment plan.

Who should do this test?

Individuals with a history of allergic reactions: Bermuda grass or Durva IgE level testing should be done for individuals who have a history of allergic reactions such as hay fever, asthma, or eczema. These individuals may be more likely to have an allergy to Bermuda grass or Durva.

People living in areas with high exposure to Bermuda grass or Durva: Individuals living in areas with a high concentration of Bermuda grass or Durva should also consider getting their IgE levels tested. This includes people who work outdoors, such as landscapers, gardeners, or farmers, who may be exposed to these allergens regularly.

Individuals with unexplained symptoms: If a person has unexplained symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or skin rashes, IgE testing for Bermuda grass or Durva may be recommended to determine if an allergy is the cause of their symptoms.

What to do if the test is abnormal?
