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.

Is this test painful?
It is a standard blood draw, which feels like a quick pinch. The sample is taken from a vein in your arm.
