Description

The Southeast Respiratory Allergy Panel is a blood test that measures your immune system’s sensitivity to common environmental allergens found in the southeastern United States. These allergens often trigger symptoms such as:

  • Sneezing and runny nose
  • Nasal congestion
  • Itchy or watery eyes
  • Coughing or wheezing
  • Seasonal allergy flare-ups

By identifying which allergens your body reacts to, this panel can help you and your healthcare provider develop a targeted allergy management plan—reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
