Corn Smut, Tilletia tritici (m201), IgE details
What Corn Smut, Tilletia tritici (m201), IgE shows
Smut fungi, including the one labelled Tilletia tritici in this test, infect cereal crops and produce large numbers of dark, dusty spores. People are mostly exposed outdoors in agricultural areas, or when harvesting, threshing or handling infected grain. This test measures IgE antibodies to the fungus to check whether your immune system is sensitized to its spores. A positive result can help explain nasal, eye or chest symptoms linked to farm work or grain dust. Fungal allergens can cross-react with one another. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
