Allergy Blomia Tropicalis D201

• Test Name: Allergy Blomia Tropicalis D201 Test
• Diagnostic Purpose: To detect specific IgE antibodies against Blomia tropicalis allergen
• Test Type: In-vitro allergen-specific IgE blood test
• Sample Required: Blood sample
• Test Methodology: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or ImmunoCAP technology
• Analyte Measured: IgE antibodies specific to Blomia tropicalis (dust mite species)

• Clinical Application: Diagnose allergy to Blomia tropicalis
• Symptom Assessment: Evaluate symptoms like allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema, or other allergic reactions related to dust mite exposure
• Treatment Guidance: Aid in developing personalized allergen avoidance strategies and immunotherapy
• Risk Evaluation: Assess risk of allergic reactions in individuals with a history of asthma or other atopic conditions

• Specific IgE Measurement: Quantification of IgE antibodies specific to Blomia tropicalis
• Allergen Panel: Often part of a comprehensive dust mite and indoor allergen panel
• Sensitivity Range: Detection of low to high levels of specific IgE antibodies
• Reporting: Detailed lab report with IgE concentration and class rating

• Positive Result: Indicates sensitization to Blomia tropicalis; higher IgE levels suggest higher sensitivity
• Negative Result: No significant IgE antibodies detected; unlikely allergic to Blomia tropicalis
• Borderline Result: Low-level presence of specific IgE; may require further clinical correlation
• Clinical Correlation: Results should be interpreted in conjunction with patient’s clinical history and symptoms

• Quantitative Output: Specific IgE concentration in kU/L
• Qualitative Rating: Class 0 (negative) to Class 6 (highly positive)
• Reference Range: Standardized normal range for IgE levels
• Turnaround Time: Typically 3-7 days from sample collection to result reporting
• Follow-up: Recommendations for consultation with an allergist for positive or borderline results
