Acremonium Kiliense Sensitivity Test
An Acremonium kiliense allergy test measures IgE antibodies against a mold species found in soil, plant debris, and damp indoor spaces. It helps assess mold sensitization when respiratory or nasal symptoms persist.

Quick answer
The Acremonium kiliense allergy test uses a blood sample to check for immunoglobulin E antibodies against Acremonium kiliense, a mold also known by the older name Cephalosporium acremonium. It is commonly included in mold panels and is ordered when someone has persistent allergy symptoms that may be tied to damp environments. The test indicates sensitization and is interpreted alongside symptom history.
What this test measures
Molds release tiny spores that travel through the air and can trigger allergic responses in sensitive individuals. Acremonium kiliense is a widespread fungus found in soil, decaying vegetation, and moisture-damaged buildings. Exposure may occur indoors when damp materials are disturbed, or outdoors around soil and plant debris.
The test measures allergen-specific IgE in a serum sample using a laboratory immunoassay. It reports whether antibodies against this mold are present and provides a quantitative level or reactivity class. Because many molds share overlapping allergens, results are often reviewed together with other mold tests in the same panel.
A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily an active allergy or a specific source of exposure. Clinicians interpret the finding with the person's symptoms, environment, and other test results. People with ongoing breathing or sinus symptoms should discuss the result with a qualified healthcare provider.

Why people order this test
- Investigate persistent nasal or respiratory symptoms in damp environments
- Assess mold sensitization as part of a broader allergy workup
- Review symptoms that worsen in buildings with moisture problems
- Compare reactivity across several mold species
- Provide context before discussing environmental changes with a provider
How to prepare
No fasting is required for this blood test. A sample is collected from a vein, typically at the arm. Follow any specific instructions from the laboratory, particularly if the test is part of a larger panel.
Understanding your results
Results are usually reported within one to three business days. The report shows the specific IgE level and reactivity class for Acremonium kiliense. Elevated results suggest sensitization, and a healthcare provider can explain what the finding means for a particular person.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Acremonium kiliense?
It is a common mold species found in soil and on decaying plant material. It can also grow indoors on damp surfaces and is associated with allergic sensitization in some people.
Is Cephalosporium acremonium the same mold?
Yes. Cephalosporium acremonium is an older name for Acremonium kiliense, and both names refer to the same organism.
How is the sample collected?
A small blood sample is drawn from a vein. The serum is then tested for IgE antibodies that react to the mold.
Does a positive result mean I have a mold allergy?
A positive result indicates sensitization. Whether symptoms are caused by the mold depends on exposure and clinical history, which a healthcare provider evaluates.
Should I fast before the test?
Fasting is not required for this test unless it is bundled with another panel that calls for it.
