Understanding Allergy - Mold Panel, ImmunoCAP in Asansol
What is Allergy - Mold Panel, ImmunoCAP in Asansol?
An Allergy - Mold Panel, ImmunoCAP is a set of blood tests that identifies potential allergic reactions to some common molds. This panel specifically tests for the presence of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies which is produced when there is an allergic reaction in your body. Along with this, the Total IgE level is also determined. These antibodies can cause symptoms that may be mild, moderate, or severe, including rashes, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing, or in serious cases, anaphylaxis. By finding out which molds trigger allergic reactions, this test helps to manage overall health more effectively.
Please note: This is an outsourced test. The sample for this test is collected by TATA 1MG and processed at a NABL accredited partnered lab.

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.
