Hormodendrum IgE is a blood test that detects the presence of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies specifically targeting the mold genus Hormodendrum, which is now more accurately classified under the fungal genus Cladosporium. Cladosporium is one of the most common environmental molds and is a frequent cause of mold-related allergies.
When your immune system becomes sensitized to mold spores from Hormodendrum/Cladosporium, it can overreact and produce IgE antibodies. This immune response is what underlies the symptoms of a mold allergy.
Hormodendrum (Cladosporium) molds are widespread and found in both indoor and outdoor environments. They thrive in:
Soil, decaying organic matter, and compost
Damp areas of homes, such as basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and window sills
Air vents and HVAC systems
Outdoor air, particularly during late summer and fall, when spore counts are high
These molds release microscopic spores into the air, which can be inhaled without notice. In sensitive individuals, this can lead to an allergic reaction.
IgE (Immunoglobulin E) is a type of antibody involved in allergic reactions. Your body produces IgE in response to substances it mistakenly identifies as harmful—even though they’re generally harmless to others. When you’re allergic to Hormodendrum mold, your immune system produces Hormodendrum-specific IgE after exposure to its spores.
If your blood test shows elevated levels of Hormodendrum-specific IgE, it suggests that:
Your immune system has been sensitized to Hormodendrum mold.
You are at increased risk for mold allergy symptoms when exposed to mold spores.
The symptoms you’re experiencing (especially respiratory or skin-related) may be driven by mold exposure.
This doesn’t necessarily mean you’re currently ill—it indicates that your immune system has flagged this mold as a threat, and will react upon exposure.
People with elevated Hormodendrum IgE may experience:
Nasal congestion, sneezing, or runny nose (allergic rhinitis)
Coughing or wheezing
Postnasal drip
Asthma flare-ups or shortness of breath
Watery, itchy, or red eyes
Skin irritation, eczema, or hives
Fatigue or brain fog (in chronic exposure cases)
These symptoms often worsen in damp environments or during seasons with high mold spore counts, such as late summer and early fall.
Mold allergies, especially to Cladosporium (Hormodendrum), are not just a nuisance—they can trigger or worsen asthma, sinus infections, and respiratory issues. In individuals with compromised immune systems or pre-existing lung conditions, repeated exposure to mold can lead to chronic inflammation or more serious fungal-related conditions.
Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to indoor mold exposure.
Use a dehumidifier in areas with high humidity.
Fix leaky pipes, roofs, or windows promptly.
Improve ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens.
Clean or replace HVAC filters regularly.
Remove and replace any mold-contaminated materials like carpets or ceiling tiles.
During mold season (often late summer to early fall), stay indoors during peak spore count times.
Use HEPA filters in your home and vacuum with a HEPA filter vacuum.
Over-the-counter or prescription antihistamines and nasal corticosteroids to manage symptoms.
Leukotriene receptor antagonists for asthma-related symptoms.
Allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots) may be recommended for long-term relief if you have multiple or severe mold allergies.
An allergist can help confirm your sensitivity through additional skin prick testing or comprehensive IgE panels.
They can help you identify other potential allergens and tailor a personalized treatment plan.
Your lab test may include several mold-related IgE markers such as:
Aspergillus fumigatus IgE
Penicillium notatum IgE
Alternaria alternata IgE
Cladosporium herbarum IgE (often overlaps with Hormodendrum)
Each mold allergen represents a different fungal species or genus. Testing for multiple mold-specific IgEs can help pinpoint which mold(s) are triggering your allergic response.
An elevated Hormodendrum IgE result is a sign that your immune system is reacting to a common environmental mold. While mold is hard to completely avoid, targeted strategies can greatly reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Whether your symptoms are mild or severe, understanding the role of mold in your health is a key step toward effective treatment and prevention.
A high level of Hormodendrum-specific IgE suggests that your body is sensitized to this mold and may be reacting with allergic symptoms when exposed. Common symptoms include:
Sneezing
Runny or congested nose (allergic rhinitis)
Coughing or wheezing
Asthma flare-ups
Itchy or watery eyes
Skin rashes or eczema
In individuals with asthma, mold allergies like Hormodendrum can exacerbate breathing difficulties and increase the risk of asthma attacks.
Limit Mold Exposure:
Use a dehumidifier in damp areas (basements, bathrooms).
Ensure good ventilation in your home.
Remove visible mold and fix leaks quickly.
Use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters.
Work With an Allergist:
If you’re experiencing allergy symptoms, a specialist can confirm your triggers through skin or blood testing and offer treatment options like antihistamines, nasal sprays, or allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots).
Consider Your Environment:
Outdoor molds like Hormodendrum/Cladosporium peak in warm, humid months. Monitoring mold spore levels and staying indoors when counts are high may help reduce symptoms.
An elevated Hormodendrum IgE level indicates a mold allergy to a common environmental fungus. While not dangerous in itself, it can significantly affect quality of life and respiratory health. Reducing mold exposure and working with a healthcare provider can help manage symptoms and prevent complications.

I have been using Healthmatters.io since 2021. I travel all over the world and use different doctors and health facilities. This site has allowed me to consolidate all my various test results over 14 years in one place. And every doctor that I show this to has been impressed. Because with any health professional I talk to, I can pull up historical results in seconds. It is invaluable. Even going back to the same doctor, they usually do not have the historical results from their facility in a graph format. That has been very helpful.
