Why This Biomarker Matters

A positive result identifies mold allergy as a contributor to your symptoms, allowing you to avoid exposure and manage allergic reactions effectively.

Overview

This test detects IgE antibodies against Botrytis cinerea, a common mold that produces allergenic spores. If present, IgE antibodies indicate your immune system has developed an allergy to this mold. Botrytis is found on decaying plants, in damp environments, and can be present in homes with moisture problems. A positive test suggests mold allergy may be causing respiratory symptoms, skin reactions, or other allergic responses. This helps identify specific environmental triggers for allergy management.
