Quick answer

The Region 5 Allergies panel is a regional IgE blood test covering 27 allergens common across the eastern Midwest and upper South. It evaluates sensitization to the tree, grass, and weed pollens, molds, and indoor allergens typical of this mixed transitional region. The panel is used when symptoms suggest allergy but specific triggers have not been identified.

What this test measures

This region blends midwestern and southern growing conditions. Spring tree pollen from oak, maple, and birch is followed by grass pollen in late spring and summer, and ragweed and other weeds dominate late summer and autumn. In the southern part of the region, warm-season grasses and a longer growing season extend pollen exposure, while humidity can raise mold levels.

This panel measures allergen-specific IgE for 27 regionally selected allergens from a single blood sample. Targets may include spring tree pollens, cool-season and warm-season grass pollens, weed pollens, mold spores, dust mite, and animal dander. Each allergen is reported with a quantitative level and a graded class.

People across the eastern Midwest and upper South who experience seasonal or persistent allergy symptoms may order this panel. It can also help when symptoms seem to vary with travel between northern and southern parts of the region. A qualified healthcare provider interprets the findings with the person's environment and history.

  • Tree pollen IgE (oak, maple, birch, and related species as included)
  • Grass pollen IgE (timothy, orchard, Bermuda, and related grasses as included)
  • Weed pollen IgE (ragweed, plantain, 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 27 panel allergens

  • Investigate spring tree, summer grass, and autumn weed symptoms together
  • Assess mold and dust mite sensitization in a humid transitional climate
  • Evaluate symptoms that change with travel within the region
  • Identify which allergens merit follow-up with a clinician

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this panel include 27 allergens?

The region spans northern and southern plant zones, so a wider allergen set helps cover the pollens and molds a person may encounter.

Can symptoms differ between the northern and southern parts of the region?

Yes. Growing seasons, humidity, and plant mixes vary, which can change exposure and symptom timing.

Is mold included in this panel?

Common mold spores are typically included because humidity in parts of the region can support mold growth.

Does a blood test replace a clinical exam?

No. Testing adds information, but a qualified healthcare provider still evaluates symptoms, history, and other findings.

Can the panel be ordered for a child?

Clinicians can order blood allergy panels for children when appropriate. The decision is made based on the individual case.
