Dust mite allergies are one of the most common causes of allergies worldwide, affecting millions of people and often contributing to conditions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever), asthma and eczema. Unlike seasonal pollen allergies, dust mite allergies can cause symptoms all year round because exposure occurs inside the home. Since dust mites are invisible to the naked eye and are found in almost every household, an accurate diagnosis and effective management are essential for improving quality of life.

Confirming a dust mite allergy

Many allergy symptoms overlap with those caused by pollen, moulds, pets or other environmental allergens, making it difficult to know exactly what is causing your symptoms. Bio-diagnostics are proud to support healthcare professionals with specific IgE blood tests and other allergy diagnostics to drive clear diagnosis and assist successful patient treatment
pathways.

With our at-home specific IgE blood testing kits, your patient collects their sample from the comfort of your own home or in-clinic before the sample is returned to a specialist laboratory
for analysis. Using HYCOR’s innovative specific IgE technology, these tests provide an accurate assessment of your allergic sensitisation to dust mites and other common allergens. Importantly, Bio-diagnostics are eager to provide these quality tests at a range of budgets, so call us to design your own custom panel to meet the needs of clients in your
clinic.

Receiving a confirmed allergy diagnosis is the first step towards developing an effective management plan, helping patients reduce allergen exposure, manage symptoms more effectively and improve overall wellbeing.
