Test Overview

What is a Hypersensitive Pneumonitis Profile in Hyderabad?

A Hypersensitive Pneumonitis Profile in Hyderabad is a specialised blood test that detects IgG antibodies to specific environmental allergens like moulds, fungi, and bird proteins. These antibodies form when your immune system overreacts to inhaled allergens, leading to lung inflammation, known as hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP).

This test helps your doctor identify the allergens responsible for triggering your symptoms and differentiate HP from other similar interstitial lung diseases. The analysis is performed on a blood sample using advanced Fluorescence Immunoassay (FIA) technology at Metropolis Labs.

What Does a Hypersensitive Pneumonitis Profile Measure in Hyderabad?

The test identifies antibodies linked to allergic reactions in the lungs caused by prolonged exposure to specific environmental agents:

Detects allergen-specific IgG: Identifies antibodies to moulds, fungi, and bird antigens.
Assists in HP diagnosis: Helps confirm immune-mediated lung inflammation.
Differentiates lung diseases: Distinguishes HP from infections and other interstitial lung diseases.
Monitors immune response: Tracks antibody changes during treatment or exposure reduction.
Guides lifestyle changes: Helps avoid allergen sources that may trigger lung symptoms.

Who Should Consider a Hypersensitive Pneumonitis Profile?

Work in environments with high exposure to mould, bird droppings, or organic dust.
Experience shortness of breath, dry cough, or chest tightness after exposure to dust or birds.
Are a farmer, poultry worker, or pet bird owner.
Have abnormal chest X-rays or CT scans showing interstitial lung changes.
Have persistent respiratory symptoms that worsen after environmental exposure.

What Is the Purpose of a Hypersensitive Pneumonitis Profile?

The test identifies the allergens responsible for hypersensitivity pneumonitis, guiding early diagnosis and treatment. It helps differentiate allergic lung disease from infections or other chronic respiratory disorders and supports doctors in planning exposure avoidance and monitoring recovery.

Penicillium chrysogenum (Specific IgG)	≤19.1	Exposure to mould spores and allergic lung reaction
Cladosporium herbarum (Specific IgG)	≤36.0	Sensitisation to environmental fungal allergens
Aspergillus fumigatus (Specific IgG)	≤27.4	Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis or HP
Mucor racemosus (Specific IgG)	≤10.0	Mould exposure in damp environments
Alternaria alternata (Specific IgG)	≤13.1	Allergic reaction to airborne fungal spores

Cladosporium herbarum	Sensitisation from spores in agricultural or damp settings
Aspergillus fumigatus	Prolonged exposure to fungal growth in humid areas
Mucor racemosus	Contact with decaying organic matter or stored grains
Alternaria alternata	Mould allergy linked to high humidity or poor ventilation
Pigeon feathers, proteins	Bird droppings or feather dust causing Bird Fancier’s Lung
