Phoma betae (m13) IgE details
What Phoma betae (m13) IgE shows
Phoma betae is a mould that grows on plants, particularly beets, and on decaying plant material and soil, releasing spores into outdoor air, especially in warm, damp weather. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to Phoma betae in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing or asthma flares when mould spore counts are high. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and mould results are usually read alongside your symptoms and other mould allergens tested.
