What it measures
- Specific IgE to Blomia tropicalis — The main marker; a higher level suggests your immune system has become sensitized to this mite.
- Total IgE — Sometimes measured alongside specific IgE to give a general picture of allergic activity.
- Other mite-specific IgE — May include Dermatophagoides species to see whether dust mite allergy is broad or specific.
- Other allergen-specific IgE — May be added to check for reactions to related allergens such as cockroach or pet dander.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Tell your clinician about any medications you take, since some drugs may affect allergy testing.
