What is House Dust Mite?
House dust mite refers to the microscopic mites that are common in household dust and primarily feed on human skin flakes. These mites are often the cause of allergies and asthma in sensitive individuals.
Why should you be tested for House Dust Mite?
A test for house dust mite allergy can be useful for people suffering from persistent allergic reactions such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or asthma, without a clear cause. Testing for specific antibodies against house dust mite in the blood can help confirm whether the symptoms are caused by an allergy to these mites.
What does it indicate?
The test detects the presence of IgE antibodies against house dust mite in the blood, which indicates an allergic reaction by the body to these mites. A positive result can aid in the diagnosis of house dust mite allergy.
What does a high House Dust Mite IgE level mean?
A high level of IgE antibodies specifically directed against house dust mite indicates an allergic reaction. This means the body is hypersensitive to the presence of house dust mites, which can lead to allergic symptoms.
What does a low House Dust Mite IgE level mean?
A low level of IgE antibodies against house dust mite suggests that the person is likely not allergic to house dust mites. This can help in ruling out house dust mite as the cause of allergic symptoms.
