An Allergy Drug Panel by ELISA is a blood test that detects specific IgE antibodies to identify allergic sensitivities to various medications, including common antibiotics, pain relievers, and anesthetics. It uses enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technology to pinpoint triggers.
The Allergy Non-Veg Food Panel (by ELISA) is a blood test that detects specific IgE antibodies to identify allergies to animal-based foods like fish, meat, and eggs. It uses Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to measure immune responses, costing approximately ₹700-₹3,600, with reports often available in 24-48 hours. It helps diagnose allergies causing skin rashes, respiratory issues, or digestive problems.
Key Aspects of the Non-Veg Allergy Panel:
Targeted Allergens: Commonly tests for beef, chicken, mutton, pork, various fish (cod, salmon, tuna), and shellfish (shrimp, crab, scallop).
Methodology: The ELISA technique identifies specific IgE antibodies in the blood, indicating a sensitivity to particular allergens.
Preparation: No fasting is required.
Usefulness: It is crucial for identifying foodborne allergens that cause, for example, hives, eczema, or asthma.
Limitations: While helpful, ELISA tests for food allergies should be interpreted by a specialist, as some tests might have varying reliability, and the oral challenge test is considered more definitive.

A walnut (Akhrot) allergy means your immune system reacts to proteins in walnuts, causing symptoms from mild (itchy mouth, hives, tummy pain, sneezing) to severe (breathing difficulty, anaphylaxis) and potentially cross-reacting with other tree nuts like pecans; diagnosis involves blood/skin tests, and management means strict avoidance, reading labels, and carrying epinephrine for emergencies, especially since it’s often lifelong.
Severe (Anaphylaxis): Difficulty breathing, wheezing, swelling of tongue/throat, dizziness, fainting, or shock.
Types of Reactions
Primary: Direct contact or ingestion, ranging from mild to severe.
Secondary (Oral Allergy Syndrome): Mild, localized reactions (mouth/throat itching) due to similar proteins in pollen, common with raw fruits/vegetables too.
Related Allergens & Risks
You may also be allergic to other tree nuts like pecans, cashews, etc..
Walnut allergy is often lifelong.
