The Common Spring Allergies panel is an IgE blood test that screens for 12 tree pollen allergens that tend to peak in spring. It measures allergen-specific IgE antibodies against trees such as oak, birch, and maple from a single blood sample. A healthcare provider may order it when someone has springtime sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes and wants to identify which tree pollens may be involved. Results are a screening tool, not a diagnosis, and are interpreted alongside symptom history and other findings.

• Oak pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against oak pollen; a common tree allergen in spring.
• Birch pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against birch pollen; a frequent early-spring tree allergen.
• Maple pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against maple pollen; included in spring tree panels.
• Cedar pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against cedar pollen; a tree allergen that can trigger seasonal symptoms.
• Ash pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against ash pollen; assessed for spring tree sensitization.
• Elm pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against elm pollen; another common spring tree marker.

• People with sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes that flare in spring
• Individuals who notice symptoms after time outdoors among trees
• Those who suspect tree pollen rather than weed or grass pollen
• People with asthma or eczema that worsens in spring
• Anyone whose provider wants a focused tree pollen panel

• No fasting is required for this IgE allergy panel
• The sample can be collected at any time of day
• Tell the healthcare provider about all medications you take
• Staying well hydrated can make the blood draw easier

Each tree pollen is reported with its own IgE level or class. A value above the reporting threshold may indicate sensitization to that pollen, but sensitization does not always produce symptoms. Low or undetectable levels make allergy to that specific tree pollen less likely without ruling it out entirely. Some tree pollens cross-react with certain foods or other pollens, so a provider may consider that when interpreting results. Discuss results with a healthcare provider before making changes.
