Strong allergen concentration (Dil 1, 2, 3) | Weak allergen concentration (Dil 4, 5, 6) | Totals | |
---|---|---|---|

B (2015) | 743 (75%)∗∗ | 244 (25%)∗∗ | 987 |
Dil 1, 2, 3: first to third dilutions from the extract (1 : 5; 1 : 25; 1 : 125). These have a stronger allergen concentration.
Dil 4, 5, 6: fourth to sixth dilution form the extract (1 : 625; 1 : 3125; 1 : 15625). These have a weaker allergen concentration.
Totals: total number of positive mold tests in 100 tests (or 1800 individual mold tests).
A (2010): Group A, including tests performed in or before 2010.
B (2015): Group B, including tests performed in 2014 and 2015.
