Tyrophagus putrescentiae (d72) IgE details
What Tyrophagus putrescentiae (d72) IgE shows
Tyrophagus putrescentiae is a storage mite, sometimes called the mould mite, that lives in stored foods such as grain, flour, cheese, dried fruit and pet food, and in damp homes. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to it to check for allergic sensitization. It can help explain year-round nasal, eye or breathing symptoms, especially in people who work with stored food products or live in humid conditions. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and is read against your symptoms and exposure. It can partly cross-react with house dust mites, so it is usually interpreted alongside dust mite results.
