Silkworm silk is a protein-based fiber produced by the larvae of Bombyx mori, and it is used in textiles, cosmetics, and some medical materials. For people who handle silk in these settings, exposure can occasionally trigger an allergic response. This test measures specific IgE antibodies to silkworm silk, helping to identify sensitization when symptoms suggest an allergy.

About Silkworm Silk Allergy Test | Occupational in Clovis

Silkworm silk allergy testing detects IgE antibodies that the immune system may produce against silk proteins.

The test uses a blood sample to measure immunoglobulin E directed at silk allergens. IgE is the antibody class most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions, so its presence can indicate sensitization to silk.

Occupational exposure to silk occurs in textile manufacturing, silk reeling, and the handling of raw or finished silk products. Workers in these roles may inhale or contact silk particles, and some develop respiratory, skin, or eye symptoms.

Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and physical findings. A positive result shows that IgE antibodies to silk are present, but it does not by itself confirm that silk is causing symptoms; a negative result makes silk allergy less likely.
