2018, Annals of Allergy, Asthma and ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :More recently, Black et al5 found that patients admitted to the intensive care unit for a severe asthma attack were more likely to have a positive skin prick test for fungal spores (A alternata and C herbarum). Likewise, A fumigatus is frequently cited for its association with asthma severity,6-9 and the first report of this association dates back to 1978.10 So far, most studies regarding asthma and molds focused on A alternata, C herbarum and Aspergillus fumigatus.11
