Curvularia lunata (m16) IgE details
What Curvularia lunata (m16) IgE shows
Curvularia lunata is a mould that lives on grasses, plants and soil and is especially common in warm, humid regions, where its spores are found in outdoor air, mainly in summer and autumn. This test measures IgE antibodies to Curvularia to check whether your immune system is sensitized to it. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing or asthma, and this mould has also been linked with allergic fungal sinusitis. Moulds can cross-react with each other. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
