A melaleuca IgE blood test checks for antibodies against melaleuca tree pollen. Melaleuca, sometimes called paperbark or tea tree, is an evergreen that produces airborne pollen capable of triggering allergic rhinitis or eye symptoms in sensitized people. The test is a screening tool to assess sensitization, not a diagnosis by itself. It may be ordered when symptoms coincide with melaleuca pollen exposure or when a broader pollen panel is reviewed.

• Melaleuca (paperbark) pollen-specific IgE Antibodies formed against melaleuca pollen proteins; an elevated level can suggest sensitization.

• Seasonal or exposure-related sneezing, congestion, or runny nose
• Itchy, watery, or irritated eyes near melaleuca trees
• Cough or wheezing associated with airborne pollen
• Outdoor or occupational exposure to melaleuca vegetation
• A clinician is evaluating suspected pollen allergy

• No fasting is required for this IgE antibody test.
• Report allergy and asthma medications to the collector, as some may influence testing.
• No dietary changes or special preparation are needed.

Results are reported as melaleuca-specific IgE. A low or undetectable level suggests no meaningful sensitization, while an elevated level may indicate immune reactivity to melaleuca pollen and can be associated with seasonal or exposure-related symptoms. Sensitization may occur without symptoms, so results are interpreted with your history. Discuss your results with a healthcare provider before drawing conclusions.
