Allergy Profile – Inhalants screens IgE antibodies against things you breathe: house dust mites, pollens, mould spores, and animal dander. This is the panel behind the diagnosis most Trivandrum families eventually hear — allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma.
If you sneeze in bursts every morning, need an antihistamine most months, or wheeze when you clean the house, dust mites and moulds thriving in our humid coastal air are the usual offenders. Knowing exactly which inhalant triggers you changes everything: bedding decisions, cleaning routines, when to run the dehumidifier, and whether immunotherapy is worth discussing.
The panel is one home blood draw — no skin pricks, no stopping your antihistamines for a clinic patch test. Results grade each inhalant so your doctor can build a targeted plan instead of a generic one.
Blood-based IgE testing is generally not affected by antihistamines — unlike skin prick testing. Mention your medicines when booking so the lab can confirm.
