Alternaria mold is frequently detected in allergy tests, particularly in summer. Higher positive test rates were observed near humid environments and woods, distinguishing between seasonal allergy patterns.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental science
  • Allergology
  • Mycology

Context:

  • Allergy assessment protocols
  • Prevalence of mold sensitization
  • Environmental risk factors for allergies

Purpose:

  • Evaluate the frequency of Alternaria sensitization
  • Correlate positive Alternaria tests with environmental factors
  • Analyze seasonal patterns in allergic responses

Summary:

  • A notable frequency of positive Alternaria tests was identified.
  • Inclusion of Alternaria in standard allergy assessments is recommended, especially for summer symptom predominance.
  • Higher positive test rates were associated with proximity to humid areas or woodlands.
  • Distinct seasonal peaks were observed, differentiating between mono- and polysensitization.
