General Info:

Description:

Botrytis cinerea is a fungus grown as gray mold on various fruits and crops. Sensitization to Botrytis cinerea is reported to be associated with type 1 hypersensitivity reactions. Susceptible individuals, on subsequent exposure, trigger symptomatic allergic episodes of rhinitis, rhinoconjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, and occasionally severe anaphylaxis. Healthcare providers use this test to determine allergic status and guide allergen-specific immunotherapy.
