What is this test?

This test measures IgE antibodies directed against selected mold allergens. It is commonly used to help determine whether respiratory or skin symptoms may be related to mold allergy.

Why might I need this test?

You may need this test if you have wheezing, coughing, nasal congestion, watery eyes, hives, or other symptoms that occur around damp areas, mold, or fungal exposure. Your clinician will interpret the results along with your symptoms and exposure history.

How is the test performed?

A blood sample is collected and analyzed for IgE antibodies to the mold allergens included in the panel. The exact allergens covered can vary, so review the test report for the individual components tested.

How do I prepare for the test?

No special preparation is usually required. Tell your clinician about any medicines, recent allergy testing, or allergen immunotherapy because these may affect how the results are interpreted.

Clinical interpretation

How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.

Frequently asked questions

Does a positive result mean I am allergic to mold?
It indicates that your immune system has produced IgE antibodies to a tested mold allergen, which is consistent with sensitization. Your clinician will consider this result together with your symptoms and exposure history.
Can this test identify the exact source of my symptoms?
No. It shows whether antibodies to selected mold allergens are present but cannot determine the specific place or circumstance causing your symptoms.
What if the result is negative?
A negative result means tested mold-specific IgE was not detected. It may make mold allergy less likely, but other allergies or nonallergic conditions could still explain your symptoms.
