The Curvularia lunata allergy test measures your blood level of IgE antibodies that react to Curvularia lunata, a common mold found in soil and decaying plant matter. It is ordered when a clinician suspects that exposure to this mold may be contributing to allergy or asthma symptoms.
What it measures
- Total IgE — Overall level of allergy-related antibodies in your blood.
- Curvularia lunata-specific IgE — Antibodies that bind specifically to this mold.
- Class score — A 0–6 scale showing how strongly your blood reacts to the mold.
- Other mold IgEs — Sometimes checked together to compare reactions.
Who it is for
Allergists, immunologists, and primary care clinicians order this test for people with ongoing nasal, eye, or breathing symptoms that may worsen in damp or moldy environments.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Tell your clinician about all medications, especially antihistamines, because some can affect allergy test results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a numeric level of specific IgE and a class score. A higher level suggests sensitivity to Curvularia lunata, but only a clinician can interpret it alongside your symptoms and history. This is general information, not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
Does a positive result mean I am allergic?
A positive result shows your immune system has made antibodies to the mold. It does not by itself confirm an allergy; your clinician considers your symptoms and exposure.
How is the sample collected?
A small blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm, usually in a clinic or lab.
How long until I get results?
Most results are available within 1–3 business days.
Can I take allergy medicine before the test?
Ask your clinician. Some antihistamines may need to be stopped briefly, but do not change any medication without medical advice.
