Aspergillus
Aspergillus is the genus of asexual spore-forming mold species common in many climates. It is found in soil, water and air. Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus are common molds to which humans are exposed. Due to the increased use of immunosuppressant medications, the development of more intensive chemotherapies and the advent of AIDS, there has been in increase in the number of patients at risk of developing invasive aspergillosis. Aspergillus grows slowly, and can manifest in a variety of ways including chronic sinusitis and brain lesions.
What if your test result is "equivocal"?
An "equivocal" result on a Pathogen-Associated Immune Reactivity Screen (like when testing for Aspergillus) generally indicates that the test detected the presence of antibodies or immune markers at a level that is not clearly positive but higher than the typical negative range. Here's what this might mean and some steps you could consider:
→ Uncertain Diagnosis: Equivocal results are often inconclusive, meaning they don't provide a definitive answer as to whether you have an active infection or immune response to Aspergillus. This can be due to a variety of reasons including early infection, low-level exposure, or cross-reactivity with other substances.
→ Follow-up Testing: Usually, when results are equivocal, doctors recommend re-testing after a period of time. This could help determine if the levels of antibodies or immune markers are changing, which might indicate an active or resolving infection.
→ Clinical Context: It's important to consider these results in the broader context of your symptoms and medical history. If you are showing symptoms consistent with an Aspergillus infection (such as respiratory issues, if Aspergillus is suspected in the lungs), further diagnostic testing might be necessary.
→ Consultation with a Specialist: In cases where Aspergillus is a serious concern (for instance, in immunocompromised individuals), consulting a specialist in infectious diseases or a pulmonologist might be advisable. They can offer more specific tests and interpret the results in the context of your overall health status.
→ Monitor Symptoms: Keep an eye on any symptoms that might be related to Aspergillus exposure, such as coughing, wheezing, or other respiratory problems, and report these to your healthcare provider.
If your test result is equivocal, it's best to discuss these steps with your healthcare provider, who can offer guidance tailored to your specific situation.
What does it mean if your Aspergillus result is too high?
Increased risk of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple autoimmunities including neuroautoimmunity.
