Article Synopsis
- The review aims to assess the relationship between lesser-studied fungi and human hypersensitivity reactions, focusing on available clinical data to understand their relevance in practice.
- Out of the reviewed literature, 54 articles provided insights into 12 fungi, showing that sensitization varies by geography, age, and other medical factors, while seven fungi showed no links to disease.
- Although most commercially available fungal extracts rarely cause hypersensitivity, certain extracts can be beneficial in specific conditions like allergic fungal sinusitis or when conventional tests don’t pinpoint the cause of uncontrolled asthma.
