Understanding Allergy - Asthma / Rhinitis Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP in Allahabad
What is Allergy - Asthma / Rhinitis Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP in Allahabad?
Allergy - Asthma / Rhinitis Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP is done in suspected inhalant allergies causing asthma or rhinitis-like symptoms to determine the exact source causing it (allergen). This test measures the IgE-mediated response to different types of inhalant allergens like house dust, pollen, animal dander, and insects. Total IgE levels are also measured. Further tests for a specific allergen will help in further diagnosis. Since it is an inhalant allergy, it commonly causes respiratory symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath but may even lead to other skin-related symptoms like Itching, watering of eyes, rashes, and hives. Certain severe cases may also lead to anaphylactic shock. Based on these results further specific testing is recommended. It is often done for diagnosis when the cause of asthma or rhinitis is unknown.

Total IgE
Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) produced by plasma cells (specific immune cells) when the body recognizes bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, or any other unknown substances as harmful foreign antigens (allergy-causing substances or allergens) to the immune system. There are five types of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE.
Unlike other antibodies, IgE is primarily associated with immune responses to allergenic substances, such as plant pollen, latex, pet dander, mold, eggs, peanuts, bee venom, and strawberries. Typically, IgE is present in tiny amounts in the blood. When the immune system encounters an allergen, it triggers the production of IgE antibodies. The Total IgE test measures the concentration of these IgE antibodies in the blood, providing insights into the presence and severity of allergies.

Aspergillus Fumigatus
The Aspergillus Fumigatus test checks the levels of specific IgE antibodies against Aspergillus fumigatus. This test helps to see if the immune system is reacting to this common mold, which is important for diagnosing fungal infections like allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), severe allergies with mold sensitivity (SAFS), chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA), and allergic conditions like asthma, rhinitis, and others.
The test is a highly precise and reliable method that measures IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the aspergillus fumigatus allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Bermuda Grass (Durva / Cynodon grass)
Cladosporium Herbarum
Alternaria Alternata
Dermatophagoides Farinae
The Dermatophagoides Farinae test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens from Dermatophagoides farinae mites (a common house dust mite). The test helps evaluate the body's immune response to dust mites, which are often found in home environments. Elevated IgE levels in response to these mites indicate an allergic sensitivity, enabling doctors to diagnose and manage allergic reactions more accurately.
This test is a highly precise and reliable method that quantifies IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the house dust allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
