Aureobasidium Pullulans Allergy Test

This test detects IgG antibodies against Aureobasidium pullulans, a common mold found in damp environments. IgG antibodies indicate past or chronic exposure and sensitization. Unlike IgE (which triggers acute allergic reactions), IgG suggests an immune response that may contribute to chronic symptoms like sinus issues, fatigue, or respiratory problems. A positive result may indicate mold exposure in your home or workplace requiring environmental assessment.

This test detects antibodies against Aureobasidium pullulans, a common airborne fungus. Positive results suggest either fungal exposure or, more significantly, an immune reaction to this organism. Aureobasidium is associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (an allergic lung inflammation) and certain respiratory conditions. This test helps diagnose occupational or environmental lung disease in people exposed to contaminated water systems, air conditioning units, or humidifiers where this fungus grows.
