About this test

The ABPA panel helps diagnose allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), an allergic lung reaction to the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. It typically includes total IgE, Aspergillus-specific IgE, Aspergillus-specific IgG, and sometimes an eosinophil count, depending on the lab.

Key findings suggesting ABPA:

  • Total IgE above 500 IU/mL
  • Aspergillus-specific IgE above 0.35 kUA/L
  • Raised Aspergillus IgG or eosinophils

ABPA mainly affects people with asthma or cystic fibrosis. Early diagnosis prevents bronchiectasis and lung damage. The panel also helps monitor treatment and detect flare-ups.

Questions about this test

When should I get the ABPA PANEL test?

You should get an ABPA panel if you have asthma that is difficult to control, frequent flare-ups, coughing up brown mucus plugs, wheezing, or breathlessness. It is also recommended for people with cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, or unexplained lung shadows on X-ray, and for monitoring ABPA treatment and detecting relapse.

How should I prepare for the ABPA PANEL test?

No special preparation or fasting is required for an ABPA panel. Antihistamines do not affect these blood tests, so you can usually continue them. Inform your doctor about steroids, antifungal medicines like itraconazole, or omalizumab, as these can lower IgE and eosinophil levels. Bring previous IgE reports or chest scans if available.

Do I require fasting for the ABPA PANEL test?

No, fasting is not required for an ABPA panel. You can eat and drink normally before giving your sample, and the test can be done at any time of day. Inform your doctor about any steroids, antifungal medicines, or omalizumab you take, as they may affect the results.
