Aspergillosis Precipitin
Alternate Names : Aspergillosis Precipitin
What do the test results mean?
Normally, no aspergillus antibodies are found in the bloodstream.
If aspergillus antibodies are present, a person may have aspergillosis.
Strong antibodies indicate aspergillosis. This infection may involve the mucous membranes, the lungs and the skin.
Weak antibodies may indicate an early fungal infection or a condition called hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a lung disease caused by a sensitivity to inhaled dust particles, such as those associated with hobbies or occupations that involve dust exposure.
