What is this test?
This test checks a blood sample for IgG antibodies against Acremonium, a mold that can be found indoors. The result is reported as positive or negative.
Why might I need this test?
It may be used when a healthcare professional is evaluating possible mold exposure or unexplained respiratory or allergy-like symptoms after exposure to damp or moldy environments.
How is the test performed?
A laboratory uses the patient's blood sample to look for Acremonium-specific IgG antibodies. The result is qualitative, meaning it reports whether the antibodies were detected rather than providing a specific concentration.
How do I prepare for the test?
No special preparation is usually required for a routine antibody blood test. Follow any instructions from the laboratory and tell your healthcare professional about relevant mold exposures, allergies, immune conditions, or immunosuppressive medicines.
Reference range
Adult: 10-40 U/LN/A
No special preparation required. Avoid fatty meals before the test if possible.
Clinical interpretation
How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.
A positive result means that IgG antibodies to Acremonium were detected, suggesting previous exposure to this mold. It does not establish the cause of current symptoms, identify the location or severity of exposure, or prove that an active fungal infection is present. Results should be interpreted with symptoms, exposure history, and other clinical findings.
Short name
Acremonium IgG antibody
