The Aspergillus fumigatus allergy test measures your immune system's response to a common mold. It is ordered when a doctor suspects that this mold is triggering allergy symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or wheezing.

What it measures

  • Specific IgE to Aspergillus fumigatus — The main marker: a blood protein that shows allergic sensitization to this mold.
  • Total IgE — Sometimes measured as a general indicator of allergic tendency.
  • Specific IgG to Aspergillus fumigatus — May be checked to look for a different type of immune response, not just allergy.
  • Eosinophil count — A type of white blood cell that can be elevated with allergies.

Who it is for

Allergists, immunologists, and primary care doctors order this test for people with ongoing respiratory symptoms or known mold exposure.

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally before the blood draw.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a number or class for each marker, often with a reference range. Your clinician interprets these in the context of your symptoms and history. This is general information, not medical advice; only a healthcare professional can diagnose or treat a condition.
