Allergic Patients With Negative Allergy Test Results
by Fauquier ENT Consultants • Last Modified 5/16/2007
Occasionally, there are patients with histories and symptoms all consistent with allergies (environmental as well as foods)... BUT, when tested for allergies, everything comes back negative whether by skin or blood testing. This scenario is a tricky situation for which there is no easy answer, especially for those patients who desire to be treated with allergy shots/drops.
Usually, patients are told to continue with allergy medications (antihistamines, steroid nasal sprays, etc) as there are no other options. However, in our practice we do provide other options for treatment including allergy shots/drops. One is a candidate for these other options if the total serum IgE level is >30 IU/ml with a good history strongly suggestive of environmental allergies.
For more information, please contact our office to make an appointment. At the time of the appointment, please bring all your prior allergy test results.
Please note that we do NOT treat patients with severe asthma.
