Pigeon Feathers (e215) IgE details
What Pigeon Feathers (e215) IgE shows
Pigeon feathers can carry proteins from the bird, including droppings and dander, that become airborne around pigeon lofts, pet birds, feather-filled bedding or places where pigeons roost. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to pigeon feather allergens in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose or asthma around pigeons. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and needs to be read against your symptoms. Some bird-related lung conditions, such as bird fancier's lung, involve a different immune response that this IgE test does not measure.
