[Study on the relationship of airborne sensitization fungus and anaphylactic rhinitis in Wuhan].

OBJECTIVE

The aim of our studies is to explore the relation between superior sensitizing fungus and anaphylactic rhinitis, for directing the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

METHOD: Three hundred and ninety-two persons were treated by allergen skin test. Using 15 main sensitizing fungus, 90 anaphylactic rhinitis were examined. The serum level of IgE were examined, too.

RESULT: In the allergen skin testing 239 cases (60.97%) were positive, the positive rate was higher than that in contrast group (t = 5.47, P < 0.01). The main fungus allergen were Rhizopus nigricans, Cuvularia and Altevnaria, the value of IgE in patients group was higher than that in control group (t = 5.47, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSION

It proves that airborne sensitizing fungus are important causes of anaphylactic rhinitis.
