Trichophyton Mentagrophytes (m211) IgE details
What Trichophyton Mentagrophytes (m211) IgE shows
Trichophyton mentagrophytes is a dermatophyte, a type of fungus that infects skin, hair and nails, and it is a common cause of athlete's foot and fungal nail infections. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to it to check for allergic sensitization. Sensitization to dermatophytes has been linked in some people to allergic conditions such as asthma or chronic skin problems. A positive result shows sensitization, not an active fungal infection, and not necessarily allergy. Results are interpreted against your symptoms and history, and any suspected infection is checked separately.
