What this test is
The Acremonium kiliense allergy test is a blood test that detects specific IgE antibodies directed against this mold. IgE is an antibody linked to allergic reactions, and its presence can help a clinician evaluate whether your symptoms may be related to mold exposure. The test is often part of a broader allergy workup.
What it measures
- Acremonium kiliense specific IgE — Reflects the level of allergic antibody directed against this mold
- Total IgE (if included) — Provides a general measure of allergic antibody production
- Other mold specific IgEs (if panel) — Helps assess sensitivity to additional molds
What the test involves
A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm, using a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this test when a person has ongoing allergy-like symptoms and mold exposure is suspected. It can help identify whether Acremonium kiliense is contributing to those symptoms, especially when other causes have been considered.

How results are reported
Results are typically reported as a numerical value or a class score that indicates the level of specific IgE antibodies. Reference ranges and reporting methods vary by laboratory, so your results should be interpreted in the context of the lab's own range and your overall health picture.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result suggests that your immune system has produced IgE antibodies against Acremonium kiliense, which may indicate an allergy. However, a positive test alone does not confirm that this mold is causing your symptoms. Your clinician will interpret the result along with your history and other findings.
Can this test tell me if my symptoms are definitely from mold?
No, this test only shows sensitization to the mold. It cannot prove that your current symptoms are caused by mold exposure. Other factors, such as the amount of exposure and your overall health, also play a role.
Do I need to fast before this test?
Fasting is not usually required for a blood allergy test. However, always follow the instructions given by the laboratory that will collect your sample, as they may have specific requirements.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within a few business days after the sample reaches the laboratory. The exact turnaround time can vary depending on the lab's workload and processes.
