Chaetomium globosum (m208) IgE details
What Chaetomium globosum (m208) IgE shows
Chaetomium globosum is a mould that grows on damp materials rich in cellulose, such as drywall, wallpaper, wood and paper, and is often found in water-damaged buildings. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to it to check for allergic sensitization. Exposure mainly happens indoors in homes or workplaces with dampness or past water damage, and can occur all year. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as sneezing, a blocked nose, cough or asthma in damp or mouldy environments. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and exposure, and it is often interpreted alongside other mould allergens.
