Allergy Patch Testing
Allergy patch testing is a common allergy testing method used to confirm the cause of allergic contact dermatitis, i.e. metals, chemicals in cosmetics, etc.
Allergy Blood Testing
Prime Care performs allergen-specific IgE (Immunoglobulin E) testing, commonly known as ELISA/EIA testing when conducting allergy diagnostics.
Challenge Test
Highly accurate diagnostic test for allergies which is sometimes performed even after blood and skin prick tests. Our allergists may order the test to find out if a patient has truly outgrown a food allergy.
Allergy Intradermal Testing
Involves injecting a small amount of allergen under the skin. Intradermal allergy tests can test a for a variety of allergies including insect sting allergies and drug allergies.
Allergy Skin Testing
An umbrella term is used to refer to a number of testing procedures used in the diagnosis of allergies. Skin allergy tests are popular because they help in the diagnosis of many common allergies (e.g. environmental or food allergies).
Allergy Shots
A form of immunotherapy. They work by exposing the body in stages to allergens so that the body ‘learns’ not to react to those triggers.
Allergy Drops
Administered sublingually (under the tongue) and are a great alternative for patients averse to allergy shots or whose schedule may not allow weekly visits for shot build-up.
Drug Allergy Treatment
If you have a history of reactions to different medications or if you have a serious reaction to a drug, an allergist/immunologist has specialized training and testing experience to diagnose the problem and help you develop a plan to protect you in the future.
Early Introduction Program
Our early introduction program begins with a peanut allergy test. As a parent, you may already know the risks of food allergies and how they can impact the life of your child.
Food Allergy Treatment
Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergies is a medical treatment, guided by a board-certified allergist, which re-trains the immune system to become desensitized to food allergens through regular ingestion of food proteins at increasing doses.
Biological Therapy
A medical intervention that uses the body’s immune response to treat a disease. It can work by either activating or suppressing the immune system’s response, and it is used to treat multiple conditions, including cancer and allergies.
Spirometry
Important test to diagnose and understand asthma severity and control. It doesn’t hurt at all; you just blow very hard into a tube. The tube is connected to a computer that measures how well your lungs are functioning.
