Know more about this test

The Allergy Dust Mite Panel is a group of tests that measures specific IgE and total IgE antibodies to common dust mites using the ImmunoCAP method. This test helps find out if an individual is allergic to dust mites and helps doctors create a treatment plan. It is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Bangalore.

This panel is recommended when an individual shows signs and symptoms of allergy, including persistent sneezing, coughing, wheezing, nasal congestion, or itchy, watery eyes, skin rashes, and hives, particularly when these symptoms worsen in environments with dust or mites. Additionally, the test is useful for individuals with a family history of allergies or asthma, as they are more likely to develop sensitivities to dust mites. 

No special preparation is required for the Allergy Dust Mite Panel. However, inform your doctor about any medications (such as antihistamines) you are taking, as they might influence your test results.

Understanding Allergy Dust Mite Panel

House dust mites are tiny creatures commonly found in indoor environments, such as bedding, carpets, and upholstery. These mites thrive in warm, humid environments and feed on dead skin cells shed by humans. For individuals who are allergic to them, exposure to these mites can trigger hypersensitive reactions. These reactions can be mild, like sneezing, or more serious, like asthma or skin problems such as eczema.

The Allergy Dust Mite Panel helps identify allergy against two of the most common species of house dust mites such as  D. farinae and pteronyssinus. 

This panel is recommended when an individual shows signs and symptoms of allergy, such as sneezing, coughing, wheezing, stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, skin rashes, or hives, upon exposure to dust mites. It is also useful for individuals with family history of allergies or asthma.

A positive test result suggests an allergic response to dust mites, which may manifest as rhinitis, asthma, or skin conditions such as eczema or urticaria. Conversely, a negative result suggests that something else might be causing the symptoms.

No special preparation is required for the Allergy Dust Mite Panel. Let the doctor know if medications, like antihistamines, or supplements are being taken, as they might affect the results.

Test results can vary based on the type of kit used, as different methods and the quality of allergens can change how the IgE is measured. Therefore, these results are intended to be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms.

What does Allergy Dust Mite Panel measure?

Contains 3 tests

The Allergy Dust Mite Panel checks for the presence of specific IgE antibodies along with total IgE produced by the immune system in response to Dermatophagoides farinae and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus mites (common house dust mites). The panel helps evaluate the body's immune response to dust mites, which are often found in home environments.

The ImmunoCAP test is an accurate method that measures IgE antibodies in the body. This helps doctors understand how severe the allergy to house dust mites is and helps them decide on the next steps for diagnosis and treatment.

The Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens from Dermatophagoides Pternonyssinus mites (a common house dust mite). This test helps evaluate the body's immune response to dust mites, which are often found in home environments. Elevated IgE levels in response to these mites indicate an allergic sensitivity, enabling doctors to diagnose and manage allergic reactions more accurately. The test is a highly precise and reliable method that measures IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Dermatophagoides Farinae test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens from Dermatophagoides farinae mites (a common house dust mite). The test helps evaluate the body's immune response to dust mites, which are often found in home environments. Elevated IgE levels in response to these mites indicate an allergic sensitivity, enabling doctors to diagnose and manage allergic reactions more accurately.

This test is a highly precise and reliable method that quantifies IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the house dust allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Total IgE (Immunoglobulin E) test is used to quantify the total level of IgE antibodies in your blood. Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) secreted by plasma cells (immune cells) when the body identifies a dangerous foreign substance like bacteria, viruses, or allergens. There are five basic forms of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE. Of these, IgE plays a primary role in allergic reactions to allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, latex, some foods (such as eggs, peanuts, or strawberries), or insect stings.

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.
