Case Report: Antifungal Agents in the Treatment of Asthma and Allergy After Water-Damaged Building Exposure.

Damp and moisture-damaged building exposure has been linked to adverse health effects, primarily related to respiratory complications from mold spore reactions. This paper describes a case of a previously healthy man who was exposed to a home with hidden mold infestation and remained symptomatic following proper remediation. The patient presented with allergies, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, and treatment resistant asthma, as well as other non-respiratory symptoms likely related to inhalational mycotoxin exposure from his home. In this case, the addition of systemic and intranasal antifungals improved both respiratory and non-respiratory symptoms. Antifungals were used for a longer duration than customary and in combination with factors that addressed drug resistance.
