Fungal allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to airborne mold spores like Aspergillus fumigatus, Cladosporium herbarum, and Penicillium notatum. These allergies are caused by the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in response to fungal proteins. The Respiratory Allergy Profile is the most important test for diagnosis because it measures specific IgE antibodies to identify which molds trigger your symptoms.

Fungal allergies are caused by exposure to airborne mold spores from species like Aspergillus fumigatus, Cladosporium herbarum, and Penicillium notatum. When you breathe in these microscopic spores, your immune system mistakenly identifies them as harmful invaders and produces immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to fight them. This immune response triggers the release of histamine and other chemicals that cause allergic symptoms like sneezing, coughing, wheezing, and nasal congestion.
The Respiratory Allergy Profile Region XV is the most important test for fungal allergies because it detects specific IgE antibodies to common mold allergens including Aspergillus fumigatus, Cladosporium herbarum, and Penicillium notatum. This blood test measures your immune system's reaction to each fungal allergen individually, pinpointing exactly which molds trigger your symptoms. Unlike skin prick tests, this blood test can be done while taking antihistamines and provides clear numerical results that help your healthcare provider create a targeted treatment plan and recommend specific environmental control measures.
You should get tested if you experience persistent respiratory symptoms like coughing, wheezing, sneezing, or nasal congestion that worsen in damp environments, during humid weather, or when you're around moldy areas. Get tested if your symptoms seem seasonal but don't match typical spring or fall pollen patterns, or if you notice symptoms flare up in basements, bathrooms, or other areas where mold commonly grows. Testing is especially important if you have asthma that worsens in certain environments, as mold allergies can trigger severe asthma attacks.
