Stemphylium Botryosum Allergy Test

This test measures IgG antibodies to Stemphylium botryosum, a mold commonly found in soil, plants, and decaying organic matter. IgG antibodies indicate past or ongoing exposure to this mold. While acute mold allergies typically trigger IgE responses, IgG can indicate chronic or occupational mold exposure, possibly contributing to allergic symptoms, asthma, or hypersensitivity pneumonitis in susceptible individuals. This test is useful for diagnosing mold-related allergies in people with persistent respiratory symptoms.

This test detects IgE antibodies to Stemphylium botryosum, a common mold found in soil and decaying plant material. Positive results indicate allergic sensitization to this mold allergen. Mold allergies can cause respiratory symptoms, asthma exacerbation, and allergic rhinitis, particularly in damp environments. This test helps identify mold allergen triggers and guides environmental remediation strategies and allergy management.
