    What Is a Dust Allergy Panel(Immunocap) ?

    A Dust Allergy Panel is a test used to detect allergies to dust and common allergens that are present in household or environmental dust. This panel typically measures the presence of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which are produced by the immune system in response to allergens. It includes both total IgE levels and specific IgE tests targeting individual allergens, including house dust mites, cockroach allergens, and other dust-associated particles.

    Dust allergies are a widespread concern, often caused by allergens such as dust mites, cockroaches, mould, pollen, and pet dander. These can result in symptoms like sneezing, a blocked or runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Dust mites are the leading cause of dust allergies, flourishing in warm, humid conditions. They are typically found in carpets, furniture, and bedding. Cleaning these areas can release allergens into the air, worsening allergy symptoms.

    The test is quick and involves a blood sample drawn with a needle. The eMedic collects the sample and sends it to a laboratory for analysis.

    High levels of IgE antibodies in the blood indicate an allergic response.

    This test helps identify specific allergens, allowing patients to reduce exposure, make lifestyle changes, and consider treatments like antihistamines or immunotherapy to manage their allergies more effectively.

    The Dust mites panel measures specific IgE levels for allergies to common dust mites like house dust mites. These tests identify the body's immune response to these allergens, assisting in the diagnosis of allergic reactions. By assessing allergen-specific IgE levels, healthcare professionals gain crucial insights into the severity and nature of allergic sensitivities. The ImmunoCAP technique guarantees accurate and reliable results in evaluating allergen-specific immunoglobulin E levels.

    Who Should Get a Dust Allergy Test?

    Cautions Before Taking a Dust Allergy Test

    No special preparation is typically required for the test, but it is important to speak with your doctor and inform them if you are taking biotin or any anti-allergy medications to ensure the test is right for you.

    Why Take the Dust Allergy Panel(Immunocap) Checkup?

    Dust mite allergies and other dust-related sensitivities can significantly disrupt daily life, causing discomfort and exacerbating existing health conditions. When the immune system encounters proteins found in dust, such as those from dust mites, it produces IgE antibodies to neutralise them. However, these antibodies mistakenly treat these substances as harmful invaders, triggering an exaggerated immune response. With continuous exposure, the reaction intensifies, resulting in symptoms like coughing, nasal congestion, postnasal drip, wheezing, and breathing difficulties.

    For those with asthma, eczema, or hay fever, these allergic responses can worsen, making day-to-day life more difficult. A family history of atopy (a genetic predisposition to allergies) can increase the likelihood of developing such sensitivities.

    The Dust Allergy Panel test can help identify the specific allergens causing these reactions. By measuring IgE levels in the blood, it identifies triggers like dust mites and German cockroaches. Once allergens are identified, you can take proactive steps to minimise exposure, adjust your living environment, and seek suitable treatments for effective allergy management.

    If you experience persistent allergy symptoms or find that asthma and eczema are worsening, a Dust Allergy Panel test can help identify your triggers and guide you towards more effective management of your condition.
