Patients with Aspergillosis had more frequent
nocturnal symptoms and poorer lung function.
Other fungi, like Cladosporium spp, Epicoccum
spp, Helminthosporium spp and others have also
been implicated in severe asthma, recurrent
hospital admissions and ICU admissions. Studies
have demonstrated that Aureobasidium spp,
Helminthosporium spp and Trichophyton spp
sensitivity does not mean sensitivity to other fungi,
and is associated with asthma severity and
hospitalizations (Patterson, 2000).
