Penicillium Notatum

The Penicillium Notatum test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in Penicillium notatum, a type of mold commonly found in damp environments, particularly in decaying organic matter, as well as in indoor areas with high humidity. 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.
