[Anaphylactic reaction to Aspergillus]

Nowadays the pollens are the principal allergens implicated in anaphylactic reactions. Now one of our observations is of a case history of recurring acute urticaria, with malaise, hypotension, Quincke's oedema and dyspnea, linked with Aspergilus. The etiology is based on clinical observation, skin tests and specific IgE with a significant atopy. This observation shows that the anaphylactic reaction can also be associated with a mould such as Aspergillus.
