Aspergillus fumigatus is a type of fungus that is widespread in the environment. It can cause serious infections, particularly in people with a weakened immune system, such as patients, people who have undergone an organ transplant, or individuals with chronic lung diseases. Invasive aspergillosis, the most severe infection caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, primarily affects the lungs but can also affect other organs.
Testing for Aspergillus fumigatus is essential for the early detection and treatment of infections to prevent serious health complications. It is especially important for people who are at high risk of invasive aspergillosis due to an underlying health condition or immunosuppression.
The detection of Aspergillus fumigatus can indicate an active fungal infection, which, without treatment, can lead to severe respiratory symptoms and potentially life-threatening conditions. It helps determine the need for antifungal therapy.
An infection with Aspergillus fumigatus can range from mild allergic reactions to severe invasive aspergillosis. Symptoms may include: coughing, fever, shortness of breath, and, in severe cases, damage to lung tissue and other organs.
The treatment of an Aspergillus fumigatus infection usually involves antifungal medication. The choice of treatment depends on the severity of the infection and the patient's general health status. In severe cases, long-term antifungal therapy may be necessary.
Answers to what people usually want to know.
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
Often within a few working days. How soon you can be seen depends on how busy the location is and the type of analysis. For specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
That depends on the test. Whether fasting is required, and from what time, is clearly stated in the instructions you receive after ordering. No surprises at the counter.
It varies per analysis: from same-day to a few working days. Standard values often come back quickly; analyses that go to an external lab can take a bit longer. You get an email with a link to your digital result, including a short explanation per value.
We work with 1,000+ collection points across the Netherlands. After ordering you'll see which locations near you are available and you pick where you'd like to go.

“Hele fijne en snelle service”
Hele fijne en snelle service! Ik contacteerde ze ‘s nachts omdat ik zsm moest bloedprikken, ik kon die ochtend nog terecht en heb dezelfde dag mijn uitslag binnengekregen. Echt top!!
“Bloedcheckup levert”
Waar ziekenhuizen moeilijk doen om checkup te doen , komt Bloedcheckup naar boven drijven als vertrouwde partner op gebied van gezondheid. Ik ben uiterst tevreden met bloed checkup
“Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in…”
Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in het beantwoorden van mijn vragen. Ik had ook een extra setje buizen nodig als back-up en dat was geen probleem. Ik had een groot test panel besteld, maar de resultaten waren binnen 1 week binnen. Rapport zag er netjes uit.
“Snelle en goede service”
Je hebt de spullen snel in huis en het is duidelijk wat je daarna moet doen. Ook de uitslag heb je snel in huis, ik dezelfde avond al de eerste uitslagen. Bij een bepaling ging het fout, niet eens door het bedrijf maar door het bloedafname punt en die bepaling kreeg ik gewoon vergoed, ook het geld terug stond erg snel op mijn rekening. Vragen worden ook snel beantwoord dus al met al een positieve ervaring bij Bloedcheckup.nl
“Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties…”
Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties om zelfstandig je gezondheid in het oog te houden, als sporter een must want de dokters hebben toch geen verstand van wat relevant en anders is voor sport. Ook zeer tevreden over Stijn zelf! Aangename kerel en goed bereikbaar voor vragen en hulp tijdens bestellen :D
“My experience was very positive”
My experience was very positive. I needed to pass several very specific tests. They provide 24/7 customer support. They were friendly and prompt.
“Top!”
Snelle en makkelijke afhandeling. Duidelijke instructies en binnen anderhalve dag al resultaat binnen. Top service!
“Amazing service!”
Received a packet with everything needed, went to a walk in clinic (Amsterdam DC Clinic) where my blood was drawn and I was out the door within 5 minutes, and then after posting the samples, received results 2 days later. Results were easy to understand as well. Amazing service, would highly recommend!
This test is included in Dutch healthcare guidelines and is regularly used for its respective indications.
Rationale for this test
Deze test is een standaard-bepaling in Nederlandse zorgrichtlijnen voor chronische longaandoeningen zoals bronchiëctasieën en allergische bronchopulmonale aspergillose (ABPA). Aspergillus fumigatus-specifiek IgG wordt gebruikt om chronische of voorgaande blootstelling aan deze schimmel aan te tonen, met name bij patiënten met een verhoogd risico op schimmelinfecties. De klinische betekenis is goed onderbouwd binnen de reguliere geneeskunde.
