Fungal infections, specifically pulmonary aspergillosis, can cause persistent urticaria (hives). Targeted antifungal treatment effectively resolved the patient's severe, drug-resistant hives.
Area of Science:
- Allergy and Immunology
- Mycology
- Dermatology
Background:
- Urticaria (hives) is frequently triggered by infections.
- Inhalant fungal allergens are recognized causes of recurrent urticaria.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
