What the Allergy, Inhalation for 44 Panels test tells you
An inhalant allergy panel looks for IgE antibodies directed at things you breathe in rather than eat. It reports a separate result for each of forty-four airborne allergens, covering grass, tree and weed pollens, house dust mites, moulds, cockroach protein, and dander from cats, dogs and other animals kept at home. The blood sample is taken once, and every allergen on the list is tested from it.
Respiratory allergy rarely announces its cause. Sneezing fits, a blocked or streaming nose, itchy watery eyes, a cough that lingers after a cold has gone, or asthma that flares for no obvious reason can all come from something in the air at home, at work or outdoors. Identifying the specific antibodies gives your doctor a shortlist to compare against when and where your symptoms actually occur — indoor allergens tend to produce year-round symptoms, while pollens usually follow a season.
As with food testing, a detectable antibody means sensitisation: your immune system recognises that allergen. Whether it is the reason for your symptoms depends on exposure and timing, which is why the panel is interpreted alongside your history rather than on its own. Once a trigger is confirmed, the practical value is real — targeted measures against dust mites, decisions about pets, and the question of whether allergen immunotherapy is worth considering all rest on knowing precisely what you react to.
Ideal if you suffer from chronic sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or asthma symptoms and want to pinpoint the environmental allergens responsible.
Chronic nasal and eye symptoms often have a specific cause in the air around you, and this panel narrows the candidates in one blood draw.
Dust mite, mould and animal dander measures are demanding to follow, so it helps to know which of them your results actually justify.
Allergic triggers frequently sit behind poorly controlled asthma, and confirming them helps your doctor tailor treatment and avoidance advice.
Allergen immunotherapy is only offered for confirmed sensitisations, so a documented result is the starting point for that discussion.
Reasons your doctor may request the Allergy, Inhalation for 44 Panels test
Your doctor may order this test for any of the reasons below. Some are routine checks, others follow specific symptoms or an earlier result.
Nose & eye symptoms
Sneezing, nasal blockage or a persistently runny nose lasting weeks or recurring every year.
Itchy, red or watering eyes without an eye infection.
Asthma & persistent cough
Asthma symptoms that worsen in particular rooms, seasons or workplaces.
A cough that persists long after a respiratory infection has settled.
Pets & home environment
Considering a pet, or deciding whether an existing pet is contributing to symptoms.
No fasting window — pick any slot that suits you, online or on WhatsApp.
A DHA-licensed nurse collects your sample at home or in the office — free home collection.
A physician-reviewed, easy-to-read report lands securely by WhatsApp and email.

Allergy, Inhalation for 44 Panels
A panel testing reactions to 44 airborne allergens.
Each allergen is graded individually (e.g. from negative to strongly positive). Your report lists the grade for every item in the panel.
This test is reported descriptively rather than on a numeric scale — each finding below explains what your report may say.
This information is for general education only and is not medical advice. Reference ranges can vary by laboratory, age, sex, and individual factors. Always consult your physician or doctor to interpret your results.
What a higher result can point to
- Genuine inhalant allergy, where exposure and symptoms line up with the antibodies found.
- Sensitisation without symptoms, common in people with an atopic family background.
- Cross-reactivity between related pollens, which often makes several grasses or several trees rise together.
- Heavy ongoing exposure, such as living with an animal or in a damp, mould-affected home.
- Coexisting eczema or asthma, which tends to raise antibody production across the board.
These are possibilities, not diagnoses. A single value outside the reference range is interpreted alongside your symptoms, history and other tests — your doctor decides what it means for you.
What this test cannot tell you
- A positive result identifies sensitisation and must be matched against when and where your symptoms occur.
- The panel covers a fixed list, so a local or occupational allergen outside it will not be detected.
- The test says nothing about how well your nose or lungs are working, which needs separate clinical assessment.
- Non-allergic causes of the same symptoms, including irritant, infective and hormonal rhinitis, are not excluded by a negative panel.
Risks of the blood draw
- Mild bruising or brief soreness where the needle went in.
- Occasional lightheadedness, which settles after a few minutes of rest.
- Bleeding or infection at the site, which is rare with sterile single-use equipment.
- 1The panel tests antibodies to inhaled allergens, not to foods.
- 2Indoor allergens usually cause year-round symptoms; pollens tend to follow a season.
- 3A positive result becomes meaningful when it matches your real-world exposure.
- 4Confirmed triggers open the door to targeted avoidance and to immunotherapy discussions.
- 5Sensitisation patterns can change over the years, so an old result may no longer reflect the present.
Frequently Asked Questions

Talk to our team→Yes. These medicines dampen the skin's response and therefore interfere with prick testing, but they do not lower the specific IgE measured in blood, so there is no need to stop them.
It may, but the result alone does not establish it. Your doctor will look for symptoms that fit — worse at night or on making the bed, better away from home — before concluding that mite exposure is driving your airways.
Related pollens share similar proteins, so antibodies against one often bind the others in the laboratory. The pollen that matters clinically is usually the one whose season matches your symptoms.
Yes. New sensitisations can develop after years of exposure, particularly after moving to a different climate, and some childhood sensitisations become less prominent in adulthood. Retesting is sometimes useful if the pattern of symptoms has changed.
