Quick answer
This test detects IgE antibodies that react to hazel tree pollen in a blood sample. It is used when seasonal nasal or eye symptoms coincide with hazel pollination in late winter and early spring. The result is interpreted by a healthcare provider along with the symptom calendar.
What this test measures
Hazel trees release pollen early in the year, and their lightweight grains can travel on the wind and trigger allergic rhinitis in sensitive people. Because this season overlaps with alder and birch, symptoms alone may not reveal the source. The test measures antibodies formed specifically against hazel pollen proteins.
A routine blood draw provides the serum sample, and testing can be done at any time of year. Laboratories report hazel pollen-specific IgE, total IgE, and a reactivity grade. Panels often include related tree pollens and cross-reactive proteins such as profilin and PR-10 to help explain the broader pattern.
This test targets tree pollen rather than hazelnut food protein, which is a separate allergen source. People order it when spring symptoms are persistent or when allergy treatment and avoidance planning are being considered. A qualified healthcare provider reviews the findings in context.
- Hazel tree pollen-specific IgE antibody
- Total serum IgE
- IgE reactivity class for hazel pollen
- Profilin (Cor a 2) IgE cross-reactivity
- PR-10 (Cor a 1) IgE cross-reactivity
- Birch pollen (Bet v 1) cross-reactive IgE
- Alder pollen IgE cross-reactant
- Other early-season tree pollen IgE when included
Why people order this test
- Identify the pollen source of late-winter or spring symptoms
- Confirm sensitization before starting allergy treatment
- Separate hazel pollen allergy from hazelnut food allergy
- Compare hazel with other early tree pollen triggers
- Add a tree marker to a respiratory allergy panel
How to prepare
No fasting is required, and the sample may be collected at any time of year. Collection does not need to occur during the pollen season. Follow the instructions provided by the laboratory.
Understanding your results
Results are typically available within one to three business days. A positive finding indicates sensitization to hazel pollen, which a healthcare provider interprets with the timing of symptoms and other allergy results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hazel pollen allergy the same as hazelnut allergy?
No. Pollen and food proteins are different allergens, though cross-reactivity between them is possible.
When does hazel pollen circulate?
Hazel typically pollinates in late winter to early spring, varying with local climate conditions.
Can this test be done outside pollen season?
Yes. Antibodies persist, so the test does not depend on the season.
Will treating pollen allergy help food symptoms too?
That depends on the cause of the food symptoms, which a healthcare provider should evaluate separately.
What sample is required?
A standard venous blood sample collected at a laboratory.
