Allergy Mold / Fungus Panel near me in Ernakulam

The Allergy Mold / Fungus Panel is a group of blood tests that detects allergies against various mold/fungus allergens that are commonly present in the environment. It measures specific IgE and total IgE antibodies against various fungus species, including Aspergillus fumigatus, Cladosporium herbarum, Candida albicans, Alternaria alternata, and Penicillium chrysogenum. The Allergy Mold / Fungus Panel is a highly specialized allergy test that evaluates hypersensitivies to certain allergens using the ImmunoCAP technique.

Doctors advise this test if you experience symptoms like nasal blockage, runny nose, sneezing, watery and irritated eyes, continuous wheezing and coughing, itchy throat, nose, and eyes and scaly/dry skin etc., after exposure to molds/fungus spores. This panel is useful for individuals with a family history of allergies or asthma, as they are more likely to develop sensitivities to mold/ fungus. By identifying sensitivity to mold/fungus, your doctor can develop effective management strategies, including avoidance measures and potential treatments to reduce the risk of severe allergic reactions.
