<human>: Could results of the recent (3rd November) allergy blood  test indicate that my daughter`s immunity still fighting Aspergillius Fumigatus. Recent (3rd November) allergy blood test of my daughter did show Eosinophils  18%  While IgE Immunoglobin   IgeE  1190kU/L Blood test on 21 of May 2010 Total IgE 7270ug/L   Aspergillius fumigatus was HIGH POSITIVEIn May 2010, when the first allergy blood test of my daughter indicated High  positive Aspergillus Fumigatus my daughter`s diagnosis was : " Unsure if this is all severe chronic asthma. There maybe a component of fixed airways obstruction and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis" Its exact words from med. report.  I`m very concerned that if my daughter still have Aspergillius and not been treated since it was detected in her blood by first allergy test in May 2010, she exposed to the risk of loosing her lungs. WWW.WWWW.WW  Would be necessary for my daughter to have Bronchoscopy and other HD scans  to distinguish between allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis  (which can mimic severe forms of asthma) and a simple allergy to Aspergillus.  I would greatly appreciate your answer.Mrs.L. Clark YYYY@YYYY P.S. Acupunture and herbal tratment increadibly improved condition of my daughter. Some of the natural trearment like flora care supose to improve immunity.As results my daughter don`t have asthma symptoms for month. But her lung function test show that there is maybe the problem.And it could be those fungus,immunitet trying to fight.If high oeosinophils consistent with Aspergillius fumigatus invasion, then I will apply Dr.Clark`s zapper, to try to eliminate the parazite, before it caused damage.
<bot>: Hi, See this thing shouldn't be confusing. If your daughter had a very high level of IGE in blood with high eosinophils then only sputum culture or blood culture will make diagnosis clear like aspergillus fumigators. If she had been done blood allergic testing for aspergillus was positive then one thing is clear that she is having allergic bronchpulmonary aspergilli. Now bronchoscopy is an invasive procedure and carries more risk during operation and there are other safer investigations should be tried first like chest X-ray or CT thorax. Bronchoscopy can be done as a last option and mainly to rule out any obstructive disease or bronchiectasis or any tumor or foreign body. I think this all will make u clear to understand.
