Inhalant (or respiratory) allergens are environmental substances that can trigger an allergic reaction when inhaled into the body, including common substances like pollen, grasses, dust mites, animal dander, mold spores, and even some types of chemicals. Elevated levels of IgE can be seen when the body overreacts to these typically harmless substances. This type of allergic reaction can cause a wide range of symptoms, from mild (sneezing, runny nose, congestion) to severe and life-threatening (anaphylaxis).
Symptoms and disorders caused by increased IgE antibodies to inhalants may include:
- Allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
- Anaphylaxis
- Asthma attack
- Respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest
- Atopic dermatitis (eczema)
- Conjunctivitis (red, itchy, or watery eyes)
- Fatigue Headache
- Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain
- rashes or hives
- scratchy throat or cough
- Swelling of the eyes, face, or tongue
Report
The IgE Inhalant Allergy Test Report is a useful resource for professionals who want valuable information about the underlying causes of IgE reactions.
This test report groups the IgE inhalant allergy test markers into the following clinically important groups:
- Pets
- Dust
- insects
- molds
- Pollen
