AAAAI - Fungi Stake a Claim in Allergic Sinusitis Pathology

March 27, 2008

Sharon:

I took a quick look at the list of fungi:

Alternaria (apparently the predominant one)

Aspergillus

Bipolaris

Curvularia

Epicoccum

Fusarium

Phoma

As a strong general rule I would say that all of these (except Aspergillus,

which is common both in and out) are outdoor fungi. Alternaria in

particular is a large spore and doesn't get inside well. This would tend to

support a non-indoor environment source/causation.

Just an observation - don't go throwing rotten apples at me.
