Phoma sp Ab.IgG
Measures antibodies (IgG) in blood that indicate immune response to Phoma mold exposure.
Why This Biomarker Matters
Identifying Phoma sensitivity helps explain allergic or respiratory symptoms and guides environmental remediation efforts. This is especially important for those with asthma or chronic sinusitis.
Overview
This test detects IgG antibodies against Phoma, a common mold found in soil and decaying plant material. Phoma species can cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues in sensitive individuals, particularly those with mold allergies or compromised immune systems. A positive result indicates past or current exposure to this mold. This test is useful for identifying environmental allergies and assessing whether mold exposure may be contributing to respiratory or allergic symptoms.
