Understanding Aspergillus Broncho Pulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) Panel, ImmunoCAP in Faridabad
What is Aspergillus Broncho Pulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) Panel, ImmunoCAP in Faridabad?
Aspergillus Broncho Pulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) Panel, ImmunoCAP detects hypersensitivity to Aspergillus fumigatus that occurs in patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis by measuring Total IgE, Aspergillus fumigatus (Specific IgG), and Aspergillus fumigatus (Specific IgE). The test is also used to monitor treatment response in ABPA. You should consider the ABPA testing, if you notice symptoms similar to asthma including fever and chills, chest or joint pain, weight loss, wheezing, cough, coughing up blood, shortness of breath. When the ABPA test is positive, and the patient shows the presence of predisposing conditions like asthma or cystic fibrosis, it is indicative of hypersensitivity to Aspergillus fumigatus species. A negative result indicates that the symptoms are not due to Aspergillus fumigatus and other differential diagnoses must be considered.

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.
