What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing a persistent cough, chest congestion, unexplained fatigue, or breathing problems that haven't improved with typical treatments. It helps identify whether a fungal infection could be the cause of your respiratory symptoms, especially if you've had exposure to mold, soil, or bird droppings, or you've traveled to areas known for fungal illnesses. It's also useful if standard tests haven't found a clear answer for ongoing lung issues.

What's included in this test?

This panel checks for antibodies your body makes in response to specific fungal organisms that can cause respiratory infections. It uses two different lab methods together, which helps improve the accuracy of catching an infection that a single method might miss. Together, these results help pinpoint whether a fungus is behind ongoing breathing or lung symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account, with each value explained alongside its normal range so you know exactly what it means. If your levels suggest a fungal infection, the report will outline what that indicates and when to seek medical care right away if symptoms are severe. You can download a standard lab report anytime from your account for your records, and if you retest later, the trends feature lets you track changes in your results over time.

How can I naturally support my respiratory health?

Avoiding known mold and fungal exposure sources, like damp basements or decaying vegetation, is one of the most effective steps you can take. Staying hydrated, eating a diet rich in antioxidants, and getting enough sleep can help your immune system function better while you recover. Using an air purifier and keeping indoor humidity low can also reduce your ongoing exposure to fungal spores.

When will I get my results?

Results for this panel are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. This turnaround allows time for the detailed antibody testing methods used to detect fungal exposure. You'll receive a notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone with unexplained respiratory symptoms like chronic cough, wheezing, or fatigue, especially after known or suspected exposure to mold, dust, or soil-based fungi. It's also useful for people who've had inconclusive results from other respiratory testing. People with weakened immune systems or those living in humid, moldy environments may also want to consider this test.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include a lingering cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, fever, night sweats, or fatigue that doesn't go away. Some people also notice wheezing or flu-like symptoms that come and go without a clear cause. If these symptoms have lasted for weeks despite typical treatments, this test can help find out if a fungal infection is involved.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means your body has produced antibodies in response to a specific fungus, which suggests current or past exposure or infection. Depending on which antibodies are detected, this can point to different types of fungal respiratory illness. The report explains what your specific result pattern suggests and what steps commonly follow, and if your symptoms are severe, seek medical care promptly.

How often should I retest?

Retesting isn't usually needed unless your symptoms persist, worsen, or you're monitoring recovery after treatment. Many people retest 4-6 weeks after initial results to see if antibody levels are changing. Your account's trends feature makes it easy to compare results side by side over time.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

Start by reading the detailed explanation in your report, which breaks down what your specific antibody results suggest. Reducing exposure to mold and damp environments, supporting your immune system with good nutrition and rest, and monitoring your symptoms closely are good next steps. If you experience worsening breathing difficulty, high fever, or chest pain, seek medical care right away.
