About Shellfish Allergy Test - Crab, Shrimp, Clam, Lobster in Corona

Understanding shellfish allergy testing

A shellfish allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies proteins in shellfish as harmful and produces immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against them. Upon subsequent exposure, these antibodies can trigger symptoms such as hives, swelling, digestive upset, or breathing difficulty.

This test uses a blood sample to measure the level of IgE antibodies specific to crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster. Because it evaluates four distinct shellfish, the panel can help identify which particular types may be driving a reaction. It is important to note that a positive result indicates sensitization, which does not always equate to a clinical allergy; a physician interprets results alongside symptoms and history.

Shellfish are divided into two broad groups: crustaceans, which include shrimp, crab, and lobster, and mollusks, which include clams, oysters, and mussels. Allergies to crustaceans are more common, and reactions to one crustacean often extend to others. This panel focuses on crustaceans plus clams, a mollusk, offering useful coverage across both categories.
