Why This Biomarker Matters

A positive result indicates chronic mold exposure and immune sensitization. This warrants environmental assessment for moisture, mold growth, and may explain persistent respiratory symptoms.

Overview

This test detects IgG antibodies against Cladosporium herbarum, one of the most abundant molds in outdoor and indoor environments. IgG antibodies indicate past or chronic mold exposure and sensitization. Unlike acute allergic reactions, IgG-mediated responses may cause chronic symptoms like persistent congestion, cough, or fatigue. A positive result suggests significant mold exposure requiring home assessment and environmental remediation.
