Aspergillus fumigatus (m3) IgE details
What Aspergillus fumigatus (m3) IgE shows
Aspergillus fumigatus is a common mould found in soil, compost, decaying leaves and damp buildings, and its tiny spores are breathed in throughout the year. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to the mould Aspergillus fumigatus in your blood. It is used to check whether this mould may contribute to nasal or breathing symptoms, and it helps evaluate allergic lung reactions to Aspergillus in asthma or cystic fibrosis. A positive result suggests sensitization to Aspergillus fumigatus, and it is often reviewed together with other mould results and total IgE. A positive result shows sensitization, meaning your immune system has made IgE to this allergen, but not necessarily an allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
Tests that include Aspergillus fumigatus (m3) IgE
This test measures the IgE antibody levels in response to Aspergillus fumigatus, helping in the diagnosis of allergic diseases. It's a quantitative assay that should be used alongside other clinical information for accurate diagnosis.
- Aspergillus fumigatus (m3) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mould Aspergillus fumigatus, used to check for allergic sensitization that may explain your symptoms.
This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to 5 molds that are commonly associated with allergies.
- Immunoglobulin E (IgE) The antibody class involved in allergic reactions and parasite defense. Elevated total levels support an allergic or parasitic process, though a specific allergen test is needed to pinpoint the cause.
- Alternaria alternata (m6) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mould Alternaria alternata, used to check for allergic sensitization that may explain your symptoms.
- Aspergillus fumigatus (m3) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mould Aspergillus fumigatus, used to check for allergic sensitization that may explain your symptoms.
- Cladosporium herbarum (m2) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to Cladosporium herbarum, one of the most common outdoor moulds, to check for allergic sensitization to mould spores.
- Mucor racemosus (m4) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mold Mucor racemosus to check for allergic sensitization that may contribute to nasal, eye or asthma symptoms.
- Penicillium notatum (m1) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mold Penicillium notatum (also called P. chrysogenum) to check for allergic sensitization that may contribute to nasal, eye or asthma symptoms.
This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to 6 molds that are commonly associated with allergies. Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation.
- Alternaria alternata (m6) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mould Alternaria alternata, used to check for allergic sensitization that may explain your symptoms.
- Aspergillus fumigatus (m3) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mould Aspergillus fumigatus, used to check for allergic sensitization that may explain your symptoms.
- Cladosporium herbarum (m2) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to Cladosporium herbarum, one of the most common outdoor moulds, to check for allergic sensitization to mould spores.
- Mucor racemosus (m4) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mold Mucor racemosus to check for allergic sensitization that may contribute to nasal, eye or asthma symptoms.
- Penicillium notatum (m1) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mold Penicillium notatum (also called P. chrysogenum) to check for allergic sensitization that may contribute to nasal, eye or asthma symptoms.
- Stemphylium botryosum (m10) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to Stemphylium botryosum, an outdoor mould found on plants, to check for allergic sensitization to its spores.
This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to 5 different molds that are commonly associated with allergies. Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation.
- Alternaria alternata (m6) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mould Alternaria alternata, used to check for allergic sensitization that may explain your symptoms.
- Aspergillus fumigatus (m3) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mould Aspergillus fumigatus, used to check for allergic sensitization that may explain your symptoms.
- Candida albicans (m5) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to Candida albicans, a common yeast, to check for allergic sensitization rather than infection.
- Cladosporium herbarum (m2) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to Cladosporium herbarum, one of the most common outdoor moulds, to check for allergic sensitization to mould spores.
- Mucor racemosus (m4) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mold Mucor racemosus to check for allergic sensitization that may contribute to nasal, eye or asthma symptoms.
