About the Test

The Indoor Respiratory Allergy Panel measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies produced in the blood in response to certain indoor allergens. This panel measures immune responses to cockroach, cat dander, dog dander, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (American) house dust mite, Dermatophagoides farinae (European) house dust mite, Blomia tropicalis (Tropical) house dust mite, Alternaria alternata mold, Penicillium notatum fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus fungus, Cladosporium herbarum mold, goose feather, and house dust. PLEASE NOTE This test reports the presence of IgE(s) antibodies to common indoor allergens, but the result by itself cannot confirm the diagnosis of an allergy. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider. They will review your results along with your medical history, signs and symptoms, medications, and any other test results. Only a healthcare provider can diagnose an allergy and prescribe medication, if needed.
