Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I don’t know anything about Spiriva, but I found this online. Total serum IgE concentration allergy tests allows for measurement of the total IgE level in a serum sample. Elevated levels of IgE are associated with the presence of allergy. Here is where my diagnosis comes in: Total serum IgE concentration for diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, immune deficiency disease characterized by increased IgE levels (e.g., Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, hyper-IgE staphylococcal abscess syndrome), IgE myeloma, or pemphigoid is considered medically necessary. I read recently that a reading over 1000 would be bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. I am wondering if it could just be allergies to usual stuff, which is why I have been asking questions… I am pretty much down to 1000 now. Madeline what is IGE ? What do you know about Spiriva HandiHaler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
