Allergy - Rifampicin Antibiotic Test

Allergy - Rifampicin Antibiotic Test

also known as: Allergy Rifampicin Enzyme Assay

Tests for allergies includes a skin or blood test to detect the substance that’s causing the allergy. Skins tests are generally preferred as they are reliable, quick, and generally affordable and less expensive as compared to blood tests. The tests on skin can be done on the surface of the skin, under the skin or both ways to check the allergic reaction on the skin and the body .To identify the allergic substance or the cause of allergy the tests must be carried out in a clean environment.

Clean the skin surface (usually on your back or arm) with alcohol. Place few drops of the allergic substance on your skin . Prick the skin under each drop with a needle. The needle passes through the drop and allows some of the allergen to penetrate your skin. Check the skin after around 10 minutes for red, raised itchy areas called wheals. If a wheal forms, it means you are possibly allergic to that allergen (this is called a positive reaction).

Allergy testing is done to find out cause of an allergic reaction.

Skin test: Identify airborne allergens, such as pollens, dust and pets etc. Identify food allergens like eggs, milk, peanuts, nuts, fish, wheat, etc.
