  • Look for chronic lung aspergillosis
  • Check for hypersensitivity pneumonitis
  • Investigate cough in people with old TB cavities

Symptoms — when should you get tested?

  • Long-lasting cough
  • Coughing up blood
  • Breathlessness
  • Weight loss

Normal range

Aspergillus IgG Negative

Reference ranges differ slightly between labs, methods, age and sex. Always discuss your report with your doctor.

If your result is high

A positive result suggests the body is reacting to Aspergillus, as in chronic aspergillosis or hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Common reasons
  • Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis
