Fungi are ubiquitous and form their own kingdom. Up to 80 genera of fungi have been linked
to type I allergic disease, and yet, commercial reagents to test for sensitisation are available …

Allergy to airway-colonising, thermotolerant, filamentous fungi represents a distinct
eosinophilic endotype of often severe lung disease. This endotype, which particularly affects …

The term allergic fungal airways disease has a liberal definition based on IgE sensitisation
to thermotolerant fungi and evidence of fungal-related lung damage. It arose from a body of …

Although pollen has been widely studied throughout the years as an aeroallergen, far less is
known about fungal spores, which are present in the air in concentrations considerably in …

This review summarizes the fungi involved and the current debate regarding the diagnostic
criteria to define fungal-associated lung disease. We advocate the phasing out of the term …

abstract Exposure and sensitization to fungal allergens can promote the development and
worsening of allergic diseases. Although numerous species of fungi have been associated …

The fungi have been known to produce potentially airborne dispersal units since the
invention of the microscope in the 17th century, and their ubiquitious and cosmopolitan …

There is current evidence to demonstrate a close association between fungal sensitisation
and asthma severity. Whether such an association is causal remains to be confirmed, but …

Allergic diseases are a major health problem due to their increasing incidence and high
prevalence worldwide. Asthma has several aetiologies, and allergy plays an important role …

Fungi can be found throughout the world. They may live as saprophytes, parasites or
