Respiratory Allergy Profile for Region XI: AZ (mountains), CO, ID (mountains), MT, NM, UT, WY

The Respiratory Allergy Profile for this mountainous and diverse region encompasses tests for various allergens that are prevalent in the environment. The specific allergens included in this profile are crucial for accurately diagnosing and managing allergies in residents of these states. Here is a detailed description of each test and how it benefits individuals in this specific region:

Tree Pollen Allergens:

  • Alder (T2) IgE: Alder trees are common in cooler climates and their pollen is a known spring allergen. Testing helps those affected manage symptoms during peak seasons.
  • Cottonwood (T14) IgE: Cottonwood trees thrive near water bodies, releasing fluffy seeds and pollen that can irritate allergies in the late spring.
  • Elm (T8) IgE: Elm pollen is prevalent in early spring and can cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
  • Maple (Box Elder) (T1): Maple trees, including box elders, produce pollen that can cause allergies in early spring.
  • Mountain Cedar (T6) IgE: Known for causing severe winter allergies, particularly in the mountainous regions where these trees are prevalent.
  • Oak (T7) IgE: Oak trees produce highly allergenic pollen in the spring, affecting many people with respiratory allergies.
  • Olive Tree (T9) IgE: In regions where olive trees are cultivated, their pollen can cause significant allergy symptoms during their pollination season.
  • White Mulberry (T70) IgE: Common in many urban areas, white mulberry pollen is a potent spring allergen.

Grass and Weed Pollen Allergens:

  • Bermuda Grass (G2) IgE: This grass is widespread in warmer areas, causing allergies throughout its growing season.
  • Timothy Grass (G6) IgE: A prevalent allergen in rural and suburban areas, timothy grass releases pollen in late spring to early summer.
  • Rough Pigweed (W14) IgE: This weed is common in disturbed soils and produces pollen late in the summer.
  • Russian Thistle (W11) IgE: Known as tumbleweed, its pollen is a common allergen in dry regions, particularly in the fall.
  • Sheep Sorrel (W18) IgE: Typically found in fields and grasslands, sheep sorrel pollen peaks in spring and can cause allergies.

Mold and Fungal Allergens:

  • Alternaria Alternata (M6) and Cladosporium Herbarum: Both molds are prevalent outdoors and can significantly exacerbate asthma and allergic symptoms.
  • Aspergillus Fumigatus: Common in various environments, this mold can cause allergic reactions and is particularly problematic for those with compromised respiratory systems.
  • Penicillium Notatum (M1): Often found indoors, Penicillium can cause allergies year-round.

Animal Dander and Other Allergens:

  • Cat Dander (E1) IgE and Dog Dander (E5) IgE: Pet dander is a prevalent indoor allergen, and testing helps pet owners manage allergies effectively.
  • Cockroach (I6) IgE: In urban settings, cockroach allergens are significant triggers for asthma and allergies.
  • Mouse Urine Proteins: Exposure to rodent proteins can trigger allergies, particularly in rural or poorly sealed homes.

Dust Mite Allergens:

  • Dermatophagoides and Dermatophagoides Farinae: These dust mites are ubiquitous in households and are major triggers for allergic asthma and rhinitis.

Additional Tests:

  • Mugwort (W6) IgE: Mugwort pollen can cause late summer allergies, particularly in areas with cooler climates.
  • Immunoglobulin E: This test measures the overall level of IgE antibodies, which are elevated in allergic conditions, providing a general indication of allergic disease presence.

This comprehensive allergy profile enables residents of AZ (mountains), CO, ID (mountains), MT, NM, UT, and WY to identify specific environmental triggers, tailor their allergy management strategies, and improve their quality of life by minimizing exposure to these allergens.
