Mold Allergy Test Panel by Quest Diagnostics

Measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to 5 mold allergens to help determine mold allergy.

Additional Information

This test measures immune responses to 5 molds commonly linked to allergies: Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, Cladosporium herbarum, and Mucor racemosus. A positive result indicates IgE antibodies, suggesting a potential allergic reaction. However, it doesn't confirm a diagnosis; follow-up with a healthcare provider is crucial for diagnosis and treatment. They will consider your medical history, symptoms, and other test results. Only a healthcare provider can diagnose an allergy and prescribe medication if needed.

Globulin (g/dL)

Any of a group of simple proteins found in the blood.

ALT (U/L)

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme mainly produced by the liver. A good indicator of liver damage caused by alcohol, drugs or hepatitis.

Aspergillus (kU/L)

Candida albicans is a type of yeast that normally inhabits the vagina, but can sometimes overgrow and cause a yeast infection. This can occur due to factors such as antibiotic use, hormonal changes, or a weakened immune system. Symptoms may include itching, burning, and discharge.
