Overview
Doing a routine laboratory testing for eczema is not mandatory. Although an elevated Level of IgE is associated with eczema, it is not specific to this disease.
Several other medical conditions manifest with elevated IgE levels such as allergy, parasitic infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain carcinomas. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Laboratory Findings
- An elevated IgE level can also be associated with eczema.
- Some in vitro skin tests that uses percutaneous
