Numbers and percentages coincide as they are based on 100 cases.
Dilution 6 through 1 are 1 : 5 dilutions of the allergenic extract.
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.
