Allergy Specific IgG - Aspergillus fumigatus, Serum near me in Jammu

The Allergy Specific IgG - Aspergillus fumigatus, Serum test detects the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in the blood that are specifically directed against Aspergillus fumigatus, a type of fungus found in the environment. IgG antibodies are produced by the immune system as a delayed response to ongoing or past exposure to this fungus. Elevated levels of these IgG may indicate chronic or subacute forms of aspergillosis, such as chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) or aspergilloma, when interpreted alongside clinical symptoms and imaging findings. Raised IgG levels may also be seen in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), which is an allergic lung condition rather than an active fungal infection. This test is useful for assessing long-term fungal exposure or immune response, particularly in individuals with persistent respiratory symptoms or weakened immune defenses. However, this test does not confirm active disease and requires correlation with clinical findings and other lab tests for a conclusive diagnosis.
