This test is useful when a pollen allergy to the Oleaceae family is suspected and to identify the specific molecule that has previously caused a positive result in the associated allergen extract test.
Ole e 1 is a protein present in olive pollen and is the most frequent cause of allergies in the population of the Mediterranean region.
The average prevalence of this molecule is up to 80% in patients sensitised to olive pollen.
Cross-reactivity is possible with other pollens such as privet, ash, lilac, plantain, ryegrass and timothy grass.
Symptoms associated with an allergy to this molecule mainly include allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and coughing caused an itchy throat; in some cases, the allergy may also cause skin symptoms and lead to bronchial asthma.
The assessment of sensitisations to Ole e 1 is considered important for selecting patients eligible for allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT).
