What does the Stachybotrys chartarum IgE test measure?

Q: What is Stachybotrys chartarum IgE?

Stachybotrys chartarum, colloquially 'black mould,' grows on cellulose-rich materials in chronically damp indoor environments. It produces mycotoxins and allergens; specific IgE indicates Type I sensitisation. The clinical significance of Stachybotrys beyond IgE-mediated allergy remains debated.

Q: Why is Stachybotrys chartarum IgE measured?

Media attention has amplified concern, but IgE-mediated sensitisation to Stachybotrys is relatively uncommon. Detection in this panel helps address patient and practitioner questions when water damage is documented, but IgE positivity does not confirm mycotoxin illness.
