Aspergillus Antigen Skin Test

Alternate Names : Aspergillus Antigen Skin Test

Aspergillus Antigen Skin Test | Preparation & Expectations | Results and Values

What do the test results mean?

If no antibodies against Aspergillus are present, there will be no reaction at the test site. This means the test was negative, or normal.

A positive reaction at the test site indicates antibodies to Aspergillus are present. With a positive reaction there may be a small raised, hard spot on the skin where the skin test was given. This usually indicates that a person has been exposed to the fungus and may develop aspergillosis.
