The Mold Spores Allergy Test Panel is a blood test that checks for allergic sensitivity to common mold spores. It is ordered when a person has symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, or wheezing that may be triggered by indoor or outdoor mold.

What it measures

  • Aspergillus fumigatus — A mold often found in soil, compost, and damp indoor spaces.
  • Alternaria alternata — A common outdoor mold that peaks in warm, dry weather.
  • Cladosporium herbarum — A mold frequently found on plants and in damp buildings.
  • Penicillium notatum — A mold common in indoor dust and on spoiled food.

Who it is for

This panel is typically ordered by allergists, immunologists, or primary care clinicians for people with persistent allergy or asthma symptoms that may worsen in damp or moldy environments.

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is required. Tell your clinician about any medications you take, as some may affect test results.

Results and what they mean
