The Mold Allergy Panel - 15 Tests panel contains 15 tests with 15 biomarkers .

Mold allergies can significantly impact the quality of life, presenting symptoms that disrupt daily activities and exacerbate other health issues. The Mold Allergy Panel - 15 Tests from Ulta Lab Tests offers a comprehensive approach to identifying specific mold allergies, enabling targeted management and monitoring. This panel assesses sensitivities to a variety of common molds through precise IgE antibody measurements, helping to pinpoint the exact triggers of allergic reactions.

Test Components and Their Relevance:

The Mold Allergy Panel - 15 Tests includes specific tests for the following molds, categorized by common types and their habitats:

  • Indoor Molds:

    • Aspergillus fumigatus (m3) IgE
    • Penicillium notatum (m1) IgE
    • Stachybotrys chartarum/atra (RGm24) IgE

  • Outdoor Molds:

    • Alternaria alternata (m6) IgE
    • Cladosporium herbarum (m2) IgE
    • Fusarium moniliforme (m9) IgE

  • Soil and Plant Associated Molds:

    • Curvularia lunata (m16) IgE
    • Epicoccum purpurascens (m14) IgE
    • Phoma betae (m13) IgE
    • Rhizopus nigricans (m11) IgE
    • Stemphylium botryosum (m10) IgE
    • Trichoderma viride (m15) IgE

Each IgE test in this panel measures the immune system's response to specific molds, providing valuable insights into which molds may be causing allergic symptoms. For example, detection of high levels of IgE antibodies against Indoor Molds like Aspergillus fumigatus could indicate a sensitivity that might be exacerbated in damp or poorly ventilated indoor environments. Similarly, elevated responses to Outdoor Molds suggest sensitivities that could flare up during certain weather conditions or in specific outdoor settings.

Symptoms of Mold Allergy:

Recognizing the symptoms of mold allergy can be crucial for early detection and management. Common symptoms include:

  • Nasal congestion or runny nose
  • Itchy, watery eyes
  • Coughing and sneezing
  • Wheezing or difficulty breathing
  • Skin rashes or hives
