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.
Preparation

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.
