Allergies to molds caused by fungal spores in air conditioning equipment
AbstractPeople suffering from various symptoms while in air-conditioned rooms often show sensitizations to fungi that can be isolated when the fungi are dremoved from air conditioners. By using specific challenge tests it was shown that fungal spores in air conditioners can evoke allergic symptoms. Hyposensitization was the specific therapy prescribed for such allergic reactions. After hyposensitization therapy, more than 70% of the patients so treated could live and work again in air-conditioned rooms without developing specific symptoms.
