Rhizopus nigricans Ab.IgE

This test detects IgE antibodies against Rhizopus nigricans, a common mold species. A positive result indicates mold allergy, which can trigger respiratory symptoms like sneezing, congestion, wheezing, and asthma exacerbations. Rhizopus is found in soil, decaying matter, and damp indoor environments. Mold allergies are particularly problematic for people with asthma or other respiratory conditions. This test helps identify specific mold allergen sensitization and guides environmental controls and allergy management. Avoiding damp environments and using air filtration can reduce exposure.
