Sensitisation to Airborne Molds and Severity of Asthma
A cross sectional study from Europrean health surveys


14.6 million Americans with asthma

What is already known on this topic
Sensitisation to moulds is a known risk factor for life threatening exacerbations of asthma.  It is unknown whether such sensitisation is generally associated with severity of asthma.
What this study adds
The prevalence of sensitisation to moulds (Alternaria alternata or Cladosporium herbarum, or both) increased with increasing severity of asthma.  In this multicentre epidemiological survey, similar patterns of results were observed in various areas of the world
