Stemphylium botryosum (m10) IgE details
What Stemphylium botryosum (m10) IgE shows
Stemphylium botryosum is a mould that grows on plants, crops and decaying vegetation, and its spores are mostly found outdoors, especially in warm, humid months. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to this mould to check for allergic sensitization. It can help explain allergy or asthma symptoms that worsen outdoors or around plant material. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and needs to be compared with your symptoms and exposure. Stemphylium can cross-react with related moulds such as Alternaria, so it is usually interpreted alongside other mould results.
Tests that include Stemphylium botryosum (m10) IgE
This test measures the body's immune response to Stemphylium botryosum, a type of fungus that can cause allergic reactions in some people. By detecting specific IgE antibodies, this test helps identify allergies to this fungus, guiding appropriate allergy management strategies.
- Stemphylium botryosum (m10) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to Stemphylium botryosum, an outdoor mould found on plants, to check for allergic sensitization to its spores.
This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to 6 molds that are commonly associated with allergies. Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation.
- Alternaria alternata (m6) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mould Alternaria alternata, used to check for allergic sensitization that may explain your symptoms.
- Aspergillus fumigatus (m3) IgE
- Cladosporium herbarum (m2) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to Cladosporium herbarum, one of the most common outdoor moulds, to check for allergic sensitization to mould spores.
- Mucor racemosus (m4) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mold Mucor racemosus to check for allergic sensitization that may contribute to nasal, eye or asthma symptoms.
- Penicillium notatum (m1) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mold Penicillium notatum (also called P. chrysogenum) to check for allergic sensitization that may contribute to nasal, eye or asthma symptoms.
- Stemphylium botryosum (m10) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to Stemphylium botryosum, an outdoor mould found on plants, to check for allergic sensitization to its spores.
