Characteristics of Fungal Monosensitization in Turkey
Study Objective
Fungi are recognized as allergenic sources and may play a role in the development, persistency, and severity of allergic diseases. Alternaria, Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Aspergillus, which belong to the Phylum Ascomycota, are well-characterized four genera among fungi species. To our knowledge, there is not enough data about monosensitization to fungi. We aimed to investigate the characteristics of monosensitized patients to fungal allergens.
Patients-Methods
Sixty-seven adult patients, who had a positive skin prick test reaction with fungal allergen out of a total of 4200 SPT results performed between January 2015 and June 2022 in two tertiary centers were included in the study. The clinical data of the patients were obtained retrospectively from the hospital medical records.
Results
Fifty-six (83.6%) patients were sensitized to one type of fungal allergen (Female/Male: 38/18) and eleven (16.4%) (Female/Male: 9/2) were sensitized to two types of fungi. Aspergillus was the most prevalent fungal allergen, followed by Cladosporium and Alternaria. Allergic rhinitis was the most common allergic disease.
Conclusion
Monosensitization to fungal allergens is rare. Monosensitization to at least one fungal allergen may lead to significant allergic diseases by potentially impacting the immune system.
期刊介绍:
La Revue Française d''Allergologie : un véritable forum pour faire connaître des travaux originaux et permettre la diffusion de l''information auprès de toutes les spécialités concernées par les pathologies allergiques. La Revue Française d''Allergologie (8 numéros par an) est au carrefour de nombreuses spécialités - dermatologie, pédiatrie, ORL, pneumologie, ophtalmologie, médecine interne - qui, toutes, ont à traiter des maladies allergiques. Les symptômes des allergies fondés sur des mécanismes communs sont le plus souvent associés et se succèdent chez un même patient. En forte progression depuis 20 ans, les maladies allergiques sont dans l''attente de perfectionnements et d''avancées thérapeutiques qui permettront aux nombreux patients qui en sont atteints de mieux vivre avec leurs allergies. La Revue Française d''Allergologie se veut donc un véritable forum de discussions et d''échanges entre tous les spécialistes confrontés aux pathologies
