Diagnosis and treatment of Type I hypersensitivity reactions to Cladosporium Cladosporioides mold spores, commonly found in indoor and outdoor environments. Used for patients experiencing allergic rhinitis, asthma, or allergic conjunctivitis triggered by mold exposure.
Contains antigenic proteins from the Cladosporium mold that stimulate the immune system. For testing, it triggers a localized allergic response in sensitized individuals. For immunotherapy, repeated controlled exposure aims to induce immune tolerance by promoting IgG blocking antibodies and reducing IgE-mediated reactions.
Should only be administered by healthcare professionals trained in allergen immunotherapy with emergency equipment available. Contraindicated during acute asthma exacerbations, severe uncontrolled allergic conditions, and beta-blocker therapy. Local reactions at injection site are common; systemic reactions can occur and require immediate medical attention. Dosage is individualized based on patient tolerance and response.
