Allergiescreening Inhalatiemix

An IgE-based blood screening for the most common environmental (inhalation) allergens, including house dust mites, grass pollen, tree pollen, animal dander, and moulds. A practical first-line investigation for individuals with suspected respiratory allergies who have not yet had formal allergy testing.

Respiratory allergies affect a large proportion of the Dutch population, with house dust mites and grass pollen being among the most prevalent triggers. This screening panel measures specific IgE antibodies against a mix of the most common inhalation allergens, providing objective data about sensitisation patterns that may underlie symptoms such as chronic nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy eyes, and asthma-like breathing difficulties. IgE testing through a blood sample offers several practical advantages over skin prick testing: it does not require discontinuation of antihistamine medication, carries no risk of allergic reaction during the test itself, and can be performed at any walk-in prikpost without specialist equipment. A positive result indicates sensitisation — the presence of specific IgE antibodies — which, in combination with clinical symptoms, supports an allergy diagnosis. At EUR 39, this is one of the most affordable entry points to formal allergy investigation available in the Netherlands without GP referral. It is well suited for individuals who have suspected but never confirmed an environmental allergy, those considering whether to pursue allergen immunotherapy, and expats or visitors who want to understand their sensitisation profile in the Dutch environment where specific allergens (such as birch pollen and grass pollen) differ from other regions.
