[Polysaccharide compounds of mycelial fungi in dust of living quarters].

Aim: Detection of correlation between quantity of fungi and concentration of polysaccharides in dust of living quarters in Moscow.

Materials And Methods: Micromycetes from home dust were isolated by dilution method (1:1000). Polysaccharide concentration in home dust was evaluated by using gel-thromb test (Lal-test, Associates of Cape Cod Inc.).

Results: Correlation between quantity of fungi and concentration of polysaccharide in home dust was not detected.

Conclusion: For pyrogenic load evaluation in quarters besides detection of quantity of micromycetes and exposition of microgenic allergens, consideration of concentration of polysaccharide compounds is also actual.
