It helps identify whether mold exposure is contributing to health issues and can guide recommendations for environmental remediation and medical management.

This test specifically measures IgG4 antibodies to Penicillium notatum mold. IgG4 is a subclass of IgG antibodies that may indicate chronic or repeated exposure to mold antigens. Elevated IgG4 levels can be associated with allergic responses to environmental molds and may correlate with mold-related health issues like hypersensitivity pneumonitis or chronic allergic responses. This specialized test provides more detailed immune information than general IgG testing, helping clinicians assess the nature and severity of mold sensitivity and guide environmental and therapeutic interventions.

This test measures antibodies to Trichoderma viride, a common mold found in soil, decaying vegetation, and occasionally in indoor environments. The presence of antibodies indicates exposure to this mold species. Elevated levels may suggest environmental mold exposure or, in susceptible individuals, a mold-related allergic or immune response. This test is useful for people experiencing chronic respiratory symptoms, allergies, or immune dysfunction who may be exposed to this mold. Results can help identify environmental sources of exposure and guide remediation efforts to reduce health-related mold exposures.

This test detects IgE antibodies against Botrytis cinerea, a common mold that produces allergenic spores. If present, IgE antibodies indicate your immune system has developed an allergy to this mold. Botrytis is found on decaying plants, in damp environments, and can be present in homes with moisture problems. A positive test suggests mold allergy may be causing respiratory symptoms, skin reactions, or other allergic responses. This helps identify specific environmental triggers for allergy management.

This test detects IgG antibodies against Aureobasidium pullulans, a common mold found in damp environments. IgG antibodies indicate past or chronic exposure and sensitization. Unlike IgE (which triggers acute allergic reactions), IgG suggests an immune response that may contribute to chronic symptoms like sinus issues, fatigue, or respiratory problems. A positive result may indicate mold exposure in your home or workplace requiring environmental assessment.

This test detects IgG antibodies against Cladosporium herbarum, one of the most abundant molds in outdoor and indoor environments. IgG antibodies indicate past or chronic mold exposure and sensitization. Unlike acute allergic reactions, IgG-mediated responses may cause chronic symptoms like persistent congestion, cough, or fatigue. A positive result suggests significant mold exposure requiring home assessment and environmental remediation.

This test detects IgE antibodies against Trichoderma viride, a mold that grows in damp environments. Mold allergies are triggered by inhaling mold spores and can cause symptoms similar to pollen allergies, including sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Some individuals may experience more severe respiratory symptoms like wheezing or asthma exacerbation. A positive result indicates an allergic sensitivity to this mold species. Mold exposures are common in humid climates and damp indoor spaces.

This test detects IgG antibodies against Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold), a fungus found in water-damaged buildings. Unlike IgE antibodies which indicate allergic reactions, IgG antibodies suggest past or ongoing exposure to this mold. Some people exposed to Stachybotrys experience health symptoms, though scientific evidence linking this mold to specific illnesses remains limited. This test may be ordered in cases of suspected mold exposure or when investigating potential indoor air quality problems. Results should be interpreted with clinical symptoms and environmental findings.

This test detects IgE antibodies to molds commonly found in aged cheeses, indicating an allergic response.
