An Immunoglobulin E (IgE) serum test measures the level of IgE antibodies in your blood. IgE is an antibody primarily involved in allergic reactions. Elevated IgE levels can indicate allergies, such as hay fever, asthma, or food allergies. However, Its important to note that high IgE levels can also be associated with parasitic infections and certain immune system disorders.This test helps diagnose and manage allergic conditions, as well as investigate other potential underlying health issues.

THIS TEST MEASURES IGG ANTIBODIES TO ASPERGILLUS FUMIGATUS, A COMMON MOLD. ITS USED IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF ALLERGIC BRONCHOPULMONARY ASPERGILLOSIS (ABPA), A CONDITION WHERE THE AIRWAYS BECOME INFLAMED DUE TO AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE MOLD.

AN ELEVATED LEVEL OF THESE ANTIBODIES IS A KEY MARKER FOR DIAGNOSING ALLERGIC BRONCHOPULMONARY ASPERGILLOSIS (ABPA), A CONDITION WHERE THE AIRWAYS BECOME INFLAMED DUE TO AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE MOLD. IT IS OFTEN SEEN IN PATIENTS WITH ASTHMA OR CYSTIC FIBROSIS.
