What it measures
- Tyrophagus putrescentiae specific IgE — Measures allergic antibody directed at this storage mite.
- Total IgE — Sometimes measured to give overall allergy context, though it does not pinpoint a trigger.
- Other mite specific IgE — May be checked alongside dust or storage mites to compare reactions.
- Serum IgE level — The amount of allergy-related antibody in the blood sample.
