Allergy Mold Panel, Complete
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to six molds 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 indicates sensitization only; many IgE‑sensitized individuals do not develop symptoms. Diagnosis should be made by a trained medical provider after a thorough clinical evaluation.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
A positive result indicates sensitization but does not confirm clinical allergy. Clinical correlation and comprehensive evaluation are required.
