HLA-B*5701 Drug Allergy Test Pune - Genetic Screening for Drug Hypersensitivity
Direct answer: The HLA-B*5701 test detects a specific genetic marker to identify individuals at risk of severe allergic reactions to certain medicines, especially the HIV drug abacavir.
HLA-B*5701 is a human leukocyte antigen gene variant linked to immune-mediated drug hypersensitivity. People carrying this marker can develop serious reactions if treated with abacavir or related medications. This test is advised before starting specific antiviral therapy or when previous unexplained drug reactions are reported. Sample collection is available through our Home Collection Facility across Pune or at our Direct Walk-in Facility in Aundh and nearby areas.
Why is the HLA-B*5701 test advised?
Direct answer: This test helps prevent serious drug-induced allergic reactions by identifying genetic risk before treatment.
Doctors use HLA-B*5701 results to safely guide medication selection and avoid hypersensitivity reactions. Learn more about genetic and immune-related testing in our health articles, review sample instructions in test preparation guides, or compare preventive screening options on comparison resources.
