Epicoccum purpurascens Ab.IgG
Detects immune antibodies (IgG) against Epicoccum purpurascens mold.
Why This Biomarker Matters
Positive results indicate mold sensitization and past exposure. This helps identify potential allergen triggers in patients with mold-related allergies or respiratory symptoms.
Understanding Your Results

Overview
Epicoccum purpurascens is a common mold found in soil and air. This test detects IgG antibodies against this fungal allergen, indicating past or current exposure and immune sensitization. Positive results suggest you've been exposed to this mold and your immune system has responded. IgG antibodies indicate chronic or repeated exposure rather than acute infection. This test may be ordered for patients with mold allergies, asthma, or suspected mold-related health issues.
