Allergy‑Mold Profile plus IgE
Use
This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to five molds commonly associated with allergies (Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, Cladosporium herbarum, Mucor racemosus). A positive result indicates sensitization, but clinical allergy must be determined by a healthcare provider after evaluating patient history and symptoms; many sensitized individuals may be asymptomatic.

Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
A positive IgE result indicates sensitization to a mold allergen but does not confirm clinical allergy; many people with IgE sensitization remain asymptomatic. Diagnosis should be made by trained providers in context of clinical evaluation. ([jdos.nicholsinstitute.com](https://jdos.nicholsinstitute.com/dos/uslabs/test/183334?utm_source=openai))
