  • Title: Extrinsic allergic alveolitis after exposure to the yeast Rhodotorula rubra.
    Author: Siersted HC, Gravesen S.
    Journal: Allergy; 1993 May; 48(4):298-9. PubMed ID: 8328668.
    Abstract:
    A case of extrinsic allergic alveolitis following exposure to the red yeast Rhodotorula rubra is reported--to our knowledge, for the first time. Extensive growth of the yeast in the patient's environment was demonstrated, explaining an elevated titer of Rhodotorula-specific precipitating antibodies in his serum. A bronchial provocation test confirmed the diagnosis.
