Relationship between mold exposure, specific IgE sensitization and clinical asthma: a case-control study

Mold sensitizations have been repeatedly reported for their association with exacerbations of asthma symptoms and disease severity. In 1999, Neukirch et al. showed that sensitization to A. alternata was associated with severe asthma.1 These findings were later confirmed in the European Community Respiratory Health survey which showed that the frequency of sensitization to A. alternata and/or C. herbarum was significantly associated with asthma severity.2 Previous studies also suggested a link between sensitization to A.
