Egg allergy is an immune system reaction where the body mistakenly identifies egg proteins as harmful invaders. It is caused by the immune system producing IgE antibodies against specific proteins in egg whites, primarily ovomucoid and ovalbumin. The Food Allergen Profile IgE With Component Reflexes is the most important test for diagnosis because it identifies the specific egg protein components triggering the allergic response.

Egg allergy is caused by your immune system mistakenly identifying proteins in egg whites as dangerous invaders. When you eat eggs, your body produces IgE antibodies against specific egg proteins, primarily ovomucoid, ovalbumin, ovotransferrin, and lysozyme. These antibodies trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals that cause allergic symptoms ranging from mild skin rashes to severe anaphylaxis. Egg allergy is one of the most common food allergies in children, though many outgrow it by adolescence.
The Food Allergen Profile IgE With Component Reflexes is the most important test for egg allergy because it measures IgE antibodies specific to egg white proteins and identifies which exact egg components are triggering your allergic reaction. This test detects ovomucoid, ovalbumin, and other egg proteins that cause immediate allergic responses like hives, digestive issues, and anaphylaxis. For children or those with suspected delayed reactions, the Food Specific IgG Allergy Pediatric Panel can complement the IgE testing by measuring IgG antibodies that indicate delayed sensitivity reactions to eggs. These blood tests help your doctor confirm the diagnosis and assess the severity of your allergy.
You should get tested if you develop hives, swelling, or itching within minutes to hours after eating eggs or foods containing eggs. Other signs that warrant testing include digestive symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea after egg consumption, respiratory problems like wheezing or nasal congestion when exposed to eggs, or if you have a history of unexplained allergic reactions and suspect eggs might be the trigger. Testing is especially important for children with eczema or other food allergies, as they have a higher risk of developing egg allergy.
