Allergy Testing

Blood or serum allergy tests are performed at NHMG to help pinpoint a patient’s specific allergens. The blood tests reveal antibodies that the body makes in response to particular allergens. Allergy test results may show that a patient would likely benefit from allergy treatment to include allergy shots.

Allergy shots or allergy immunotherapy is a patient-specific vaccine developed for the purpose of desensitizing the patient to the offending allergens gradually over time.
