Abstract

Introduction: Allergy is defined as “untoward physiological events mediated by a variety of different immunologic reaction”. The presences of critical levels of fungal spores in the environment are among them, such as Ulocladium, Cladosporium, and Alternaria which are the major indoor allergens. Other species are: Aspergillus, Fusarium, Rhizopus, Mucor, Penicillium, Phoma, Helminthosporium, Drechslera and Aureobasidium. Mould Allergy can be induced by production of enzyme, toxins or protein and polysaccharide of cell wall. Mould allergy symptoms include: skin rashes, runny nose, watery eyes, itchy nose and throat, coughing, sneezing, asthma, pneumonitis and sinusitis.Method: The pillows for fungal contamination have been examined in the hospitals of U.K and showed that the typical used pillow contains a substantial load of many species of fungi, particularly A.fumigatus (2006). Another report that was a case of acute hypersensivity pneumonitis induced by an oil fan heater.Results: Inhaled fungal spores could cause asthma. Mould allergy was confirmed by use of a purified and standardized extract and SPT, CPT and RAST were performed.Discussion: In 1924 Storm Van Ieewen from Holland suggested that inhaled fungal spores could cause asthma. Between the prevalence of fungal species in the home environment and the prevalence as skin-test allergens of the test was positive for more than 50% of persons who expose with moulds. It is important that know, mould will grow as long as there is moisture, nutrients and suitable temperature for growth. To control mould, one need is to keep the house or building dry and clean.
