Allergen – Phadiatop Adult (Individuals Above 5 Years), Serum

Test Overview
The Phadiatop Adult test is a blood-based allergy screening test used for individuals above 5 years of age. It detects specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies associated with common airborne (inhalant) allergens such as dust mites, pollen, molds, grasses, weeds, feathers, and animal dander. It is commonly used as an initial screening test for allergic conditions.

Why is this Test Done?

Doctors may recommend this test if you experience:

• Frequent sneezing
• Runny or blocked nose
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Persistent cough
• Wheezing or breathing difficulty
• Suspected allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
• Allergic asthma
• Atopic dermatitis (eczema)

Sample Required

• Sample Type: Serum (Blood sample)
• Fasting: Not required
• Preparation: No special preparation is usually needed.

What Does the Test Measure?

The test screens for IgE antibodies against a mixture of common inhalant allergens. It helps determine whether symptoms are likely caused by an allergic response and whether further specific allergen testing is needed.

Interpretation of Results

• Negative: Generally indicates no significant sensitization to the inhalant allergens included in the panel.
• Positive: Suggests sensitization to one or more inhalant allergens and may require further allergen-specific testing to identify the exact trigger.
