Allergy Screen-Phadiatop Infant

What is the Phadiatop Infant Serum test?

The Phadiatop Infant Serum test is a screening test for allergies in infants, detecting sensitivity to common allergens like dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and food allergens. It helps in early diagnosis of atopic conditions such as eczema, asthma, and food allergies.


Why is early allergy detection important in infants?

Identifying allergies early can help in managing symptoms, preventing severe reactions, and guiding dietary choices to avoid allergens that may trigger conditions like eczema or anaphylaxis.


How is the test performed?

The test involves a simple blood sample that is analyzed for specific IgE antibodies to allergens. Unlike skin prick tests, this test is safer for infants as it does not expose them to allergens directly.
