Hypersensitive Pneumonitis Panel near me in New Delhi

Hypersensitive Pneumonitis Panel measures IgG antibodies against Penicillium Chrysogenum, Cladosporium herbarum, Mucor Racemosus, Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, pigeon serum proteins, feathers, and droppings, associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). HP is an interstitial lung disease that occurs in response to repetitive exposure, inhalation, and subsequent sensitization to various inhaled organic dusts. HP is associated with decreased lung function, irreversible lung damage, and even death in some cases. The most common symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, malaise, and weight loss. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent serious complications and reducing exposure to known organic antigens is the best way to prevent HP. Positive test results are only suggestive and help document patient exposure to respective antigens. A negative test result does not exclude the disease.
