Does Spore Count Matter in Fungal Allergy?: The Role of Allergenic Fungal Species.
CONCLUSIONS: The major factor causing exacerbation of allergic symptoms in established fungal allergic patients may be the spore concentration of specific allergenic fungi rather than the total fungal concentration. These results may be useful in making recommendations as regards environmental control for fungal allergic patients.

How to diagnose mould allergy? Comparison of skin prick tests with specific IgE results
ConclusionsSPT solutions are sensitive and essential diagnostic tools for the detection of mould sensitization. Our recommendation for diagnosis would be to test at least Alt a, Asp f and Pen ch using SPT and additional sIgE test to mx1.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Coexisting atopic conditions influence the likelihood of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in asthma.
CONCLUSION: The absence of atopic eczema and allergic rhinitis in these patients increases the likelihood of ABPA. Eliciting an accurate allergy history may be a useful bedside clinical tool when considering the diagnosis of ABPA.

Asthma & Allergy Development: Contrasting Influences of Yeasts & Other Fungal Exposures
Conclusions and Clinical RelevanceDespite the irritant and allergenic properties of fungi, early‐life elevated dust yeast exposures or their components may be protective against allergy and asthma in children at risk for these outcomes. Ascertainment of fungal components associated with immunoprotective effects may have therapeutic relevance for asthma.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Clinical peculiarities of seasonal respiratory allergy in children
Conclusion: Presence of mold hypersensitivity in children determines more severe nasal and bronchial symptoms, lower asthma control and prolonged exacerbation (p<0,05).

A comparison of subject room dust with home vacuum dust for evaluation of dust-borne aeroallergens.
CONCLUSION: Allergens and antigens tested from samples collected by protocol and by grab sampling from the home vacuum were highly positively correlated. Grab samples taken from the family vacuum may be a good surrogate for evaluating home allergen exposure.

A novel model of invasive fungal rhinosinusitis in rats.
CONCLUSION: A rat IFRS model was successfully developed through nasal obstruction, CPA-induced neutropenia, and fungal inoculation. The disease modelclosely mimics the pathophysiology of anthropic IFRS.

Dissociation between sensitizing and colonizing fungi in patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.
CONCLUSION: Multiple fungal species can colonize the airway, and dissociation between colonizing and sensitizing species frequently occurs in definitive ABPA. Considering the increased prevalence of azole-resistant Aspergillus spp., administering antifungal drugs that target A. fumigatus without identifying which fungal species colonize the airway might be problematic.

Effects of fungi and eosinophils on mucin gene expression in rhinovirus-infected nasal epithelial cells.
CONCLUSIONS: RV-16, airborne fungi, and eosinophils may exacerbate the inflammatory process in nasal mucosal diseases by enhancing mucin gene expression.

Development of Aspergillus protease with ovalbumin-induced allergic chronic rhinosinusitis model in the mouse.
CONCLUSION: Aspergillus protease combined with OVA induced more severe allergic inflammation in sinonasal mucosa compared with OVA alone and similar eosinophilia. This model could be more relevant to recalcitrant eosinophilic CRS in humans than OVA-induced allergic CRS.

Mixing compatibilities of Aspergillus and American cockroach allergens with other high-protease fungal and insect extracts.
CONCLUSION: Aspergillus extracts exhibited favorable stabilities after mixing with other high-protease products. American cockroach extract potencies were unstable in less than 50% glycerin, even in the absence of other protease-containing allergens, and were destabilized in mixtures with several fungal extracts. Addition of fungal and insect extracts to separate treatment vials or preparation of fungal-insect mixtures at elevated glycerin concentrations might be necessary to produce compatible patient formulations for allergen immunotherapy injections.

Prognostic factors for survival in patients with acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall survival rate remained approximately 50% in patients with AIFR. The prognosis of AIFR is significantly influenced by underlying diseases, accompanying neutropenia, CRP levels, symptom duration, involvement of septum, and the presence of facial swelling. Elevation of CRP, in particular, was an independent predictor of poor outcomes and should be monitored appropriately.
