Curvularia lunata Ab.IgG
Detects IgG antibodies against Curvularia lunata mold for fungal exposure assessment.
Why This Biomarker Matters
IgG antibodies indicate mold exposure and immune sensitization. This test identifies environmental mold allergens in patients with chronic respiratory or allergy symptoms.
Overview
This test detects IgG antibodies against Curvularia lunata, an environmental mold species. Elevated IgG antibodies indicate past or current exposure to this fungus, which commonly grows in soil and decaying plant material. Curvularia can trigger allergic and respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals. Unlike IgE antibodies (immediate allergic reactions), IgG indicates longer-term mold exposure and immune sensitization. This test helps identify mold-related allergies in patients with chronic respiratory symptoms or recurrent infections.
