Stachybotrys chartarum Ab.IgA
Detects immune antibodies (IgA) against Stachybotrys chartarum mold in your blood.
Why This Biomarker Matters
Elevated levels indicate exposure to this potentially allergenic mold. This helps identify environmental sources of respiratory symptoms or allergic reactions in your home or workplace.
Overview
Stachybotrys chartarum is a mold that can grow in damp indoor environments. This test detects IgA antibodies—immune proteins your body produces in response to exposure to this mold. Elevated IgA antibodies suggest current or recent exposure to Stachybotrys, often from water-damaged buildings or poor ventilation. This test may be ordered if you suspect mold exposure or experience respiratory symptoms linked to indoor air quality problems.
