. The Mold Allergy Screening test is designed to identify potential allergic sensitizations to common mold allergens, including Alternaria tenuis, Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, Cladosporium herbarum, and Penicillium notatum..
. By measuring the levels of allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the blood, this test helps detect an immune response that may be associated with mold allergies.
. It is particularly useful for patients experiencing symptoms such as respiratory issues, sinus congestion, skin irritation, or allergic rhinitis that could be triggered by mold exposure.
. The results provide valuable insights for healthcare providers to guide diagnosis, environmental modifications, and allergy management strategies, ensuring improved patient care and symptom control.
. This test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosing allergies; it must be interpreted alongside the patient's clinical symptoms and medical history.
