Fungal infections are conditions caused by pathogenic fungi that can affect the skin, nails, lungs, or internal organs. They are caused by exposure to environmental fungi like Trichoderma viride, Aspergillus, Candida, and other fungal organisms that invade the body, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. The Respiratory Allergy Panel Region IV is the most important test for detecting antibodies to environmental fungi and assessing immune response to fungal exposure.

Fungal infections are caused by pathogenic fungi that invade the body through inhalation, skin contact, or wounds. Common culprits include Candida albicans (causing yeast infections), Aspergillus species (causing lung infections), dermatophytes (causing skin and nail infections), and environmental fungi like Trichoderma viride. These organisms are everywhere in our environment—in soil, on plants, and in the air we breathe. While healthy immune systems can usually fight off these fungi, people with weakened immunity are at higher risk for developing serious infections that can spread from the skin to internal organs.
The Respiratory Allergy Panel Region IV is the most important blood test for fungal infections because it detects antibodies (IgG and IgE) to various environmental fungi that commonly cause infections, especially in Florida residents south of Orlando. This comprehensive panel measures your immune system's response to fungal exposure and helps identify which specific fungi your body has encountered. For targeted testing, the Trichoderma viride IgG test is essential for detecting antibodies to this specific opportunistic fungus that can cause infections in people with compromised immune systems. These blood tests measure the antibodies your body produces when fighting fungal invaders, providing crucial information about exposure and immune response.
You should get tested if you have persistent respiratory symptoms like coughing or wheezing that won't go away, especially if you live in humid climates or areas with high mold exposure. Testing is crucial for people with weakened immune systems due to HIV, cancer treatment, organ transplants, or long-term steroid use who develop unexplained symptoms. You should also consider testing if you have recurring skin rashes, nail infections that don't heal, or if you work in healthcare, agriculture, or construction where fungal exposure is common. Early detection through blood testing helps prevent minor fungal issues from becoming serious systemic infections.

What this means
Your testosterone levels are slightly below the optimal range. While this is not necessarily cause for concern, it may contribute to occasional fatigue, reduced motivation, or lower muscle mass over time.
Recommended actions
Increase resistance or strength training
Prioritize 7–8 hours of quality sleep per night, try to reduce stress
Include more zinc- and magnesium-rich foods (like shellfish, beef, pumpkin seeds, spinach)
Consider retesting in 3–6 months
Not overhyped or overpriced. Just comprehensive blood testing made simple and for everyone.
