Overview
Pigeon Feathers Allergy Blood Test measures the IgE antibody levels in the blood to detect pigeon feathers allergy.
In India, pigeon feathers is one of the more significant causes of allergic reactions when compared to other bird feathers. Allergies may become apparent after exposure to pigeons, handling them or being in the area where dust is circulated from housing the birds.
Allergies to other bird species, such as parakeet, parrot, duck, goose, and chicken, may also be encountered by individuals with pigeon feather allergies.
When an individual with a pigeon feather allergy becomes exposed to these allergens, their immune system recognizes the substances as foreign. As a result, it stimulates the plasma cells to produce specific antibodies that combat the invaders. These antibodies cause a chemical known as histamine to be released, triggering an allergic reaction. The allergic reaction may occur within minutes or a few hours after initial exposure to pigeon feather allergens and may vary from mild to severe depending on the individual.
This test may help individuals determine if they have a pigeon feather allergy, so they may work with their healthcare provider to develop a management and treatment plan.

The Pigeon Feather Allergy Blood Test measures the IgE antibody levels in the blood to detect a pigeon feather allergy.
This test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
Negative: < 0.1 KAU/L
Positive: >= 0.1 KAU/L
Detection of IgE antibodies indicates an increased likelihood of allergy to pigeon feathers that may be responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms. A negative result indicates that the symptoms are not due to pigeon feathers allergies and other differential diagnoses must be considered.
