Cockroach, German

This test measures specific antibodies in your blood to see if your immune system reacts to proteins found in German cockroaches. It helps show whether exposure to these insects is triggering symptoms like chronic coughing, wheezing, or a stuffy nose. By identifying this sensitivity, the test helps distinguish cockroach allergy from other environmental triggers like dust mites or pet dander. However, this test alone cannot diagnose asthma or confirm that you are currently being exposed to cockroaches in your environment.
