Epicoccum purpurascens (m14) IgE details
What Epicoccum purpurascens (m14) IgE shows
Epicoccum purpurascens (also called Epicoccum nigrum) is a mold that grows on plants, soil and decaying vegetation, and its spores are common in outdoor air, especially in warm and humid months. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to Epicoccum to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain nasal, eye or asthma symptoms that flare with outdoor mold exposure, such as during yard work or damp weather. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against your symptoms and history, and is usually evaluated as part of a wider mold allergen panel.
