About Alternaria alternata Allergy Test | Mold in Plainfield

Alternaria alternata is a widespread mold that releases spores into the air, especially in dry, windy conditions.

Alternaria alternata is a dematiaceous fungus commonly found on decaying plant material, soil, and many crop surfaces. Its spores become airborne and can be inhaled, which is how exposure typically occurs.

For some people, inhaling Alternaria alternata spores prompts the immune system to produce IgE antibodies specific to the mold. Those antibodies attach to immune cells and trigger the release of histamine and other mediators when the mold is encountered again.

A blood test detects the presence of Alternaria alternata-specific IgE. Results are reported as a quantitative or semi-quantitative value and are interpreted alongside a person's symptoms and exposure history, since sensitization does not always correspond to clinical allergy.
