Cheese Mold Type (f82) IgE details
What Cheese Mold Type (f82) IgE shows
This allergen represents a mould-ripened cheese, the kind with a white or blue mould such as brie, camembert or blue cheese, which contains both milk proteins and mould. This test measures IgE antibodies to it to check for allergic sensitization. It can help when you notice hives, swelling, digestive or other symptoms after eating these cheeses. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to this type of cheese. A reaction may be driven by milk proteins or by the mould, so results are read alongside cow's milk and mould allergen results. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
