Quick answer

The Region 4 Allergies panel is a regional IgE blood test covering 23 allergens common in the southern subtropical part of the country. It evaluates sensitization to tropical grasses, tree and weed pollens, mold spores, and indoor allergens typical of a warm, humid peninsula. The panel is used when persistent or seasonal symptoms suggest allergy but the triggers are unclear.

What this test measures

Subtropical environments can sustain allergen exposure for most of the year. Warm-season grasses such as Bahia and Bermuda release pollen over a long period, trees including oak and melaleuca pollinate in their own seasons, and weeds contribute throughout the warm months. High humidity supports mold growth, and air-conditioned homes may still harbor dust mite.

This panel measures allergen-specific IgE for 23 regionally relevant allergens from one blood sample. Reported targets may include tropical grass pollens, tree pollens, weed pollens, mold spores, dust mite, and animal dander. Each allergen is reported with a quantitative antibody level and a graded class.

People living in subtropical areas who notice symptoms that do not fit a short season may find this panel useful. It can also help when symptoms persist indoors or through the winter. A qualified healthcare provider interprets the results with the person's environment and symptom history.

  • Tropical grass pollen IgE (Bahia, Bermuda, and related grasses as included)
  • Tree pollen IgE (oak, melaleuca, and related species as included)
  • Weed pollen IgE (ragweed and related weeds as included)
  • Mold spore IgE (Alternaria, Cladosporium, and related molds as included)
  • Dust mite IgE when included
  • Cat and dog dander IgE when included
  • Allergen-specific IgE class for each of the 23 panel allergens

Why people order this test

  • Investigate year-round or multi-season allergy symptoms in a subtropical climate
  • Screen tropical grass pollens that release over long periods
  • Assess mold and dust mite sensitization in humid indoor spaces
  • Evaluate symptoms that persist through the winter months
  • Identify regional allergens to review with a clinician

How to prepare

No fasting is required, and the panel can be performed at any time of year. Follow the lab's standard instructions for blood collection.

Understanding your results

Results are generally available within one to three business days. The report lists each allergen separately, which helps separate long grass seasons from indoor triggers. Positive results reflect sensitization, and a qualified healthcare provider interprets them alongside symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the allergy season so long in a subtropical area?

Mild winters and warm, humid air allow some grasses, trees, and molds to produce allergens across much of the year.

Can indoor allergens matter here?

Yes. Dust mite and indoor mold can be significant in humid climates, and testing helps show whether sensitization is present.

Are tropical grass pollens different from northern grasses?

Warm-season grasses such as Bahia and Bermuda are prominent in subtropical regions, and regional panels emphasize those pollens.

Do I need to stop allergy medicines before testing?

Blood antibody tests are generally unaffected by antihistamines, unlike skin testing. The ordering clinician can advise on medications.

What if the panel shows several positives?

Multiple positives are common. A clinician can help determine which results best match the person's symptoms and environment.
