Allergy - Aspergillus Fumigatus Specific IgE, ImmunoCAP

Allergy - Aspergillus Fumigatus Specific IgE, ImmunoCAP test helps detect specific allergies (sIgE) against Aspergillus Fumigatus, the most common fungus in our environment, using the ImmunoCAP technique. This test measures IgE antibodies in the blood against this fungus. Common fungal allergy symptoms include fever, cough with mucus or blood, difficulty breathing, etc. This test is also used for diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), severe allergy with fungal sensitization (SAFS), or chronic cavitating pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA).  Individuals with weak immune systems or mold allergies should avoid activities like gardening, excessive dusty locations like construction sites, etc. Cross-reactivity has been mainly observed between A. Fumigatus and other fungal species.
