Sub-Fraction: Egg

Why test for egg sub-fractions?

Sometimes patients ask if they can have egg white or egg yolk if they test positive for the whole egg.

The two main components of egg are egg-white and egg-yolk. These two sub-fractions of egg are tested separately. Most people are positive to both. When positive to one sub-fraction and negative to the other, the negative component may be eaten.
