Allergen, Individual-Animal Pigeon feathers EX70

The Allergen, Individual-Animal Pigeon Feathers EX70 test is a home-sample collection service that detects sensitization to pigeon feather allergens by measuring specific IgE antibodies in the blood. A trained phlebotomist collects a blood sample at your Dubai residence and the specimen is analysed in a certified laboratory using standard immunoassay techniques to quantify pigeon-specific IgE.

This test is useful for people with suspected allergy symptoms—such as rhinitis, asthma, conjunctivitis or chronic cough—associated with exposure to pigeons or pigeon droppings, and for occupational screening (e.g., pigeon handlers). Results support targeted clinical management: confirming allergen avoidance measures, guiding immunotherapy decisions, and enabling physicians in the UAE to correlate sensitization with symptoms for an accurate diagnosis.
