Mold Panel
What does Mold Panel measure?
Contains 4 testsThis test detects specific molds responsible for causing the symptoms of an allergy.
Alternaria Alternata
The Alternaria Alternata test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in Alternaria alternata, a type of mold commonly found in damp environments such as decaying plants, soil, and indoor areas with high humidity. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to Alternaria alternata, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Aspergillus Fumigatus
The Aspergillus Fumigatus test checks the levels of specific IgE antibodies against Aspergillus fumigatus. This test helps to see if the immune system is reacting to this common mold, which is important for diagnosing fungal infections like allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), severe allergies with mold sensitivity (SAFS), chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA), and allergic conditions like asthma, rhinitis, and others.
The test is a highly precise and reliable method that measures IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the aspergillus fumigatus allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Penicillium Chrysogenum
The Penicillium Chrysogenum test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in Penicillium Chrysogenum, a type of mold commonly found in moist environments like soil, decaying vegetation, and decaying foods, as well as in indoor spaces, particularly in damp or water-damaged buildings. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to Penicillium notatum, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Candida Albicans
The Candida Albicans test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in Candida albicans, a type of yeast that naturally inhabits the human body, particularly in the gut, mouth, and genital area. However, when there is an overgrowth of this yeast, it can lead to allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to Candida albicans, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
