Order Mold Spores Allergy Test Panel: Tests 5 Common TypesAllergies to airborne mold spores are common and can contribute to year-round respiratory symptoms, particularly in damp or humid environments. This panel uses a single blood draw to measure immunoglobulin E (IgE) reactivity to five mold types frequently implicated in allergic disease.
About Mold Spores Allergy Test Panel: Tests 5 Common Types in Gresham
The Mold Spores Allergy Test Panel measures specific IgE antibodies against five molds associated with allergic rhinitis, asthma, and other hypersensitivity reactions.
Specific IgE testing identifies sensitization by detecting antibodies the immune system produces in response to mold allergens. Elevated specific IgE does not by itself diagnose an allergy; it indicates that the immune system has been primed to recognize that allergen, and results are interpreted alongside symptoms and clinical history.
The panel covers Alternaria tenuis and Cladosporium herbarum, two of the most prevalent outdoor molds and well-recognized triggers of allergic asthma. It also includes Aspergillus fumigatus, a mold that can colonize the airways and is associated with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, and Mucor racemosus, a mold found in soil and decaying organic matter.
Candida albicans is included as well. Although it is a yeast that commonly colonizes the skin, mouth, and digestive tract, IgE sensitization to it can be measured and may be relevant in some individuals with mold-related symptoms. Because mold spores are present both indoors and outdoors, results from this panel can help clarify which specific molds may be contributing to a person's symptoms.
