Allergy Dust Mite (Dermatophagoides Pternonyssinus), ImmunoCAP + CRD Panel near me in Bangalore

The Allergy Dust Mite (Dermatophagoides Pternonyssinus), ImmunoCAP + CRD Panel is a blood test panel that helps identify allergies against dust mite. It includes specific IgE detection against the dust mite allergen (whole extract) as well as its components or specific proteins, using ImmunoCap technology. Dust mite is one of the most common indoor allergens. Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus is a type of house dust mite often found in bedding, carpets, and upholstery. Exposure can trigger symptoms such as sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes, wheezing, coughing, or worsening of asthma.

This panel is a combination test of allergen Specific IgE against house dust mite as well as  measures IgE antibodies against specific dust mite proteins using component-resolved diagnostics (CRD). This advanced allergy testing method identifies specific molecular components (proteins) within an allergen that trigger an allergic reaction, rather than just confirming sensitivity to the entire allergen source. It allows a more precise understanding of the allergy, helping to differentiate between true dust mite sensitization and possible cross-reactivity with other allergens.

If you're sensitive to any of these components, it shows that the allergen linked to that component is likely the main cause of your symptoms. Getting tested helps doctors in confirming the cause of allergic symptoms and planning appropriate management, such as allergen avoidance strategies, medications, or considering allergen-specific immunotherapy.
