Stachybotrys chartarum Ab.IgG

This test detects IgG antibodies against Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold), a fungus found in water-damaged buildings. Unlike IgE antibodies which indicate allergic reactions, IgG antibodies suggest past or ongoing exposure to this mold. Some people exposed to Stachybotrys experience health symptoms, though scientific evidence linking this mold to specific illnesses remains limited. This test may be ordered in cases of suspected mold exposure or when investigating potential indoor air quality problems. Results should be interpreted with clinical symptoms and environmental findings.
