Hycor proudly announces the addition of the new Stachybotrys allergen to the largest menu of
in vitro allergy tests.

The popular press has made "sick building syndrome" a common term. Patients suffering from sick building syndrome exhibit a variety of symptoms and diagnosis can be difficult. The phenomenon is thought to be caused by mold infestation fo damp areas due to flood or leaks. Stachybotrys is prominently listed among the several molds causing sick building syndrome. Allergy is one of the reactions to exposure to mold infestation and one of the forms of sick building syndrome. With Hycor's new Stachybotrys allergen and Hycor's allergens for those molds also implicated in sick building syndrome-Aspergillis fumigatus, Cladosporium herbarium and Alternaria alternata, allergy to mold exposure can be quickly and accurately determined and result in treatment and control.
