  • Title: [Role of fungi in house dust allergy in patients with bronchial asthma].
    Author: Kosiński SW, Pałczyński C, Rozniecki J.
    Journal: Pneumonol Pol; 1989 Jun; 57(6):351-6. PubMed ID: 2631051.
    Abstract:
    The aim of the study was to evaluate the contribution of skin hyperreactivity to fungi in patients with bronchial asthma and demonstrating skin sensitivity to house dust. In 50 patients skin tests with 24 allergen solutions of fungi found most often in house dust. Positive skin tests were found in 92% of the evaluated patients. Reactions to fungi allergens were seen more often than to Dermatophagoides pteronyssimus. Most often skin reactivity toward the following fungal allergens were seen: Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Fusarium culmorum and Aureobasidium pullulans. It seems that skin hypersensitivity to fungi is very common in patients with bronchial asthma and sensitive to house dust. Clinical verification of this hypersensitivity should be studied further.
