Cochliobolus Sativus Allergenic Extract

Used to diagnose allergic sensitization to Cochliobolus sativus, a common mold found in agricultural environments. Particularly useful for patients presenting with allergic rhinitis, asthma-like symptoms, or other respiratory reactions potentially triggered by exposure to this fungus in farming or grain-handling settings.

The extract contains allergenic proteins from Cochliobolus sativus. When applied to the skin (prick test) or administered via other diagnostic routes, it triggers an immune response in sensitized individuals, producing a localized reaction (wheal and flare) that confirms the presence of specific IgE antibodies against this mold.

For diagnostic use only by qualified healthcare professionals trained in allergy testing. Should be administered in a clinical setting equipped to manage potential anaphylactic reactions. Testing should be conducted when patients have discontinued antihistamines and other medications that may interfere with results. Positive results indicate sensitization but should be correlated with clinical history.
