What it measures

  • Aureobasidium pullulans specific IgE — The main marker; IgE is an allergy-related antibody your body can make against a substance.
  • Total IgE — Sometimes measured alongside to give context, though it does not confirm a specific allergy.
  • Other mold specific IgEs — May be included in a panel to compare reactions to different molds.
  • Eosinophil count — A type of white blood cell that can rise with allergic conditions; may be added by your clinician.
