What is ABPA SCREEN (TOTAL IGE, SPECIFIC IGE AF)?
The ABPA Screen is a blood test that measures your total IgE levels and specific IgE antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus (AF). This screening helps identify an allergic reaction to the Aspergillus fungus, a key indicator for Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA).
Why is this test important?
Elevated total IgE and specific IgE to Aspergillus fumigatus are strong indicators of ABPA, especially in patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis. This test aids in the early diagnosis of ABPA, allowing for timely intervention to prevent irreversible lung damage.
