Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Panel
Also known as: HYPER PAN
Use
This test is used to evaluate patients suspected of having hypersensitivity pneumonitis, which can be induced by exposure to specific allergens such as Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aureobasidium pullulans, Micropolyspora faeni, Saccharomonospora viridis, Thermoactinomyces candidus, or pigeon serum. It helps in diagnosing interstitial lung diseases related to exposure to these antigens.
Special Instructions
Separate serum from cells as soon as possible or within 2 hours of collection and transfer 1 mL serum to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube; minimum volume 0.15 mL. Store and transport the specimen refrigerated.
Limitations
The test cannot be used to order tests individually for each component. Plasma specimens are unacceptable due to potential interference in antibody detection. The test may not detect all instances of hypersensitivity pneumonitis if the patient's exposure is not due to the allergen panel covered in the test.
