Alternaria and Cladosporium calendar of Western Thrace: Relationship with allergic rhinitis symptoms

ConclusionsWe found Cladosporium to be the most frequently detected airborne mould, whereas Alternaria was the most prevalent with regard to sensitization rate. Patients' symptoms score was significantly correlated to spore concentrations. Both fungi were clearly affected by climate factors, such as temperature and relative humidity. These findings are important in AR management. Level of EvidenceN/A. Laryngoscope, 2015
