The Stemphylium botryosum allergy test checks your blood for specific IgE antibodies that react to Stemphylium botryosum, a common mold found in soil and on dead plant material. It is usually ordered when a clinician suspects mold-related allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, coughing, or worsening asthma.

What it measures

  • Specific IgE to Stemphylium botryosum — The main marker; shows whether your immune system has made antibodies to this mold.
  • Total IgE — Sometimes measured alongside to give a general picture of allergic activity.
  • Other mold IgEs — May be tested together to see if other molds also trigger reactions.
  • Other allergen IgEs — May include pollens, dust mites, or pet dander to identify all triggers.

Who it is for

A primary care clinician, allergist, or pulmonologist typically orders this test. It is most common in people with ongoing allergy or asthma symptoms that may be linked to mold exposure.

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat, drink, and take your usual medicines unless your clinician says otherwise.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a numeric level or a class for specific IgE, often along with a reference range. A clinician interprets the result with your symptoms, exposure history, and other tests. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.
