Fungal Serology

Aspergillus Test

Aspergillus

  • Double diffusion assay for the detection of precipitating antibodies to Aspergillus fumigates in serum.
  • Serological tests for precipitins are significant in the diagnosis of aspergilloma, invasive and allergic aspergillosis.

M.faeni

  • Double diffusion assay for the detection of precipitating antibodies to thermophilic actinomycetes.
  • Micropolyspora faeni, an aerobic thermophilic actinomycete is the predominant organism found in mouldy hay.When inhaled M. faeni can cause a pulmonary hypersensitivity reaction known as “Farmers’ Lung”.
  • Demonstration of precipitating antibodies forms part of the diagnosis of the disease.

Avian Allergens

  • Double diffusion assay for the detection of precipitating antibodies elicited to the inhalation of avian allergens.
  • “Bird Fanciers Disease” is another hypersensitivity disease, and is caused by inhalation of antigens, principally from bird droppings. Demonstration of precipitating antibodies form part of the diagnosis of the disease.
