[Clinical and statistical study on the allergy of type 1 to mycetes (author's transl)]

From 1963 to 1977 the authors have examined 5700 patients; 11.5% of those positive to intradermal test were sensitive to Mold spores. 78 individuals showed allergic sensitivity exclusively to Mold spores; 89% were affected by bronchial asthma. Symptom onset was observed more frequently in subjects 30 to 50 years old. The authors intend to stress the important role played by the allergy to Mold spores in determining type 1 immunologic reactions.
