Trichoderma Viride Allergy Test

This test measures antibodies to Trichoderma viride, a common mold found in soil, decaying vegetation, and occasionally in indoor environments. The presence of antibodies indicates exposure to this mold species. Elevated levels may suggest environmental mold exposure or, in susceptible individuals, a mold-related allergic or immune response. This test is useful for people experiencing chronic respiratory symptoms, allergies, or immune dysfunction who may be exposed to this mold. Results can help identify environmental sources of exposure and guide remediation efforts to reduce health-related mold exposures.

This test detects IgE antibodies against Trichoderma viride, a mold that grows in damp environments. Mold allergies are triggered by inhaling mold spores and can cause symptoms similar to pollen allergies, including sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Some individuals may experience more severe respiratory symptoms like wheezing or asthma exacerbation. A positive result indicates an allergic sensitivity to this mold species. Mold exposures are common in humid climates and damp indoor spaces.
