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.
