House Dust (Hollister-Stier) (h2) IgE details
What House Dust (Hollister-Stier) (h2) IgE shows
House dust is a mixture of many potential allergens, including dust mites, pet dander, mould, insect debris, and fibres. This test uses a house dust extract made by the manufacturer Hollister-Stier and measures IgE antibodies that react to it, to check for allergic sensitization. It can help explain year-round indoor symptoms such as a blocked or runny nose, sneezing, or wheezing. Because the extract is a mixture, and its make-up differs from other manufacturers' extracts, a positive result does not identify which component is responsible. Tests for specific allergens such as dust mites are more informative, and sensitization needs to be read against your symptoms.
