Allergen - Pigeon Feather & Droppings Specific IgG, Serum

Allergen – Pigeon Feather & Droppings Specific IgG, Serum

Test Overview

The Allergen – Pigeon Feather & Droppings Specific IgG, Serum test helps detect IgG antibodies against pigeon feather and droppings allergens in the blood. Continuous exposure to pigeon proteins may trigger hypersensitivity reactions, especially affecting the lungs and respiratory system.

This test is commonly recommended for individuals exposed to pigeons through domestic breeding, bird handling, poultry work, or prolonged environmental exposure.

Why This Test is Done

• To evaluate allergic or hypersensitivity reactions caused by pigeon exposure
• To help diagnose Bird Fancier’s Lung (Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis)
• To investigate chronic respiratory symptoms linked to bird allergens
• To monitor immune response in exposed individuals

Symptoms Associated with Pigeon Allergen Exposure

• Persistent cough
• Shortness of breath
• Wheezing
• Chest tightness
• Fever-like symptoms after exposure
• Fatigue
• Breathing difficulty in enclosed bird environments

Sample Required

• Sample Type: Serum
• Method: Specific IgG Assay
• Preparation: No fasting required

Who Should Consider This Test?

• Bird breeders and pigeon handlers
• Poultry workers
• Pet bird owners
• Individuals with unexplained chronic respiratory symptoms
• People exposed to bird droppings or feather dust regularly

Benefits of the Test

• Early identification of pigeon-related hypersensitivity
• Supports accurate respiratory allergy diagnosis
• Helps guide exposure avoidance strategies
• Assists clinicians in treatment planning

Important Notes

• A positive IgG result indicates exposure and immune sensitization.
• Results should always be interpreted along with clinical symptoms and medical history.
• Further pulmonary evaluation may be recommended if hypersensitivity pneumonitis is suspected.
