About this test

The Aspergillus IgM test measures IgM antibodies against Aspergillus, a common environmental mold. IgM is usually the first antibody produced after exposure.

A negative result is normal. A positive result may suggest recent exposure or an early immune response to Aspergillus, and is sometimes seen in early chronic pulmonary aspergillosis or allergic aspergillus conditions.

However, Aspergillus IgM has limited diagnostic value on its own. It is usually interpreted with Aspergillus IgG, total IgE, galactomannan, and chest CT findings, which are more reliable for diagnosing aspergillosis.

Questions about this test

When should I get the Aspergillus IgM test?

You should get an Aspergillus IgM test when your doctor suspects recent Aspergillus exposure or an early fungal lung infection, such as with persistent cough, wheezing, breathlessness, or abnormal chest scans. It is usually ordered alongside Aspergillus IgG and other tests, especially in people with asthma, past TB, or COPD.

How should I prepare for the Aspergillus IgM test?

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

Do I require fasting for the Aspergillus IgM test?

No, fasting is not required for an Aspergillus IgM 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 or steroid treatment you are taking.
