About Alternaria alternata Allergy Test | Mold in Compton

Alternaria alternata is one of the most widespread outdoor molds, and its spores are small enough to reach the lower airways.

Alternaria alternata grows on decaying plant matter, soil, and a range of indoor and outdoor surfaces. Its spores become airborne in dry, windy conditions, so exposure can occur in many environments rather than only in visibly damp buildings.

Symptoms associated with sensitization include sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, and wheezing. In some people with asthma, exposure to Alternaria spores can trigger bronchial inflammation and worsen breathing symptoms.

The test detects specific IgE antibodies that the immune system produces when it treats Alternaria alternata proteins as a threat. A positive result indicates sensitization, which a clinician interprets alongside symptom history, timing of exposure, and other findings.
