Mold spores are ubiquitous in both indoor and outdoor environments, and for some people, exposure triggers an immune response driven by immunoglobulin E (IgE). This panel measures IgE antibodies to five common mold types, offering a focused look at sensitization.

About Mold Spores Allergy Test Panel: Tests 5 Common Types in Silver Spring

The Mold Spores Allergy Test Panel evaluates IgE reactivity to five molds frequently implicated in allergic disease.

Alternaria tenuis is a widespread outdoor mold that peaks in dry, windy conditions and is a common trigger of allergic rhinitis and asthma. Aspergillus fumigatus is an indoor and outdoor mold known for its small spores, which can reach the lower airways. Candida albicans is a yeast that can colonize mucosal surfaces; IgE sensitization to it is sometimes assessed in chronic fungal-related conditions.

Cladosporium herbarum is one of the most prevalent airborne molds, often found in both indoor and outdoor dust. Mucor racemosus is a mold from the order Mucorales, typically associated with decaying organic matter. Each of these organisms can contribute to allergic symptoms, though the presence of IgE antibodies indicates sensitization rather than a clinical diagnosis on its own.

This panel uses a blood sample to quantify specific IgE levels. Results are reported as numerical values that reflect the likelihood of an allergic response to each mold. Because mold exposure is common, a positive result should be interpreted alongside a person's history and environment. The test does not measure total IgE or other allergen types.
