About this test

The Aspergillus IgG test measures IgG antibodies against Aspergillus, a common mold that can cause chronic lung infections and allergic reactions. Cut-off values vary by lab method.

Raised Aspergillus IgG is the most important blood marker for chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA), including aspergilloma (fungal ball), which often develops in old TB cavities or damaged lungs. It also supports a diagnosis of ABPA in asthma and cystic fibrosis.

It helps monitor antifungal treatment, but is not reliable for invasive aspergillosis, where galactomannan testing is preferred.

Questions about this test

When should I get the Aspergillus IgG test?

You should get an Aspergillus IgG test if you have a chronic cough, coughing up blood, weight loss, fatigue, or breathlessness, especially after tuberculosis or with COPD. It is also recommended for a lung cavity or fungal ball on a CT scan, difficult-to-control asthma, suspected ABPA, and monitoring treatment.

How should I prepare for the Aspergillus IgG test?

No special preparation or fasting is required for an Aspergillus IgG test. Inform your doctor about any antifungal medicines, steroids, or immunosuppressants, as these can affect antibody levels. Bring previous chest X-ray or CT scan reports and any TB treatment records for accurate interpretation.

Do I require fasting for the Aspergillus IgG test?

No, fasting is not required for an Aspergillus IgG test. You can eat and drink normally before giving your sample, and the test can be done at any time of day. Inform your doctor about any antifungal medicines or steroids you take, as they may affect the results.
