In dimorphic yeasts, hyphal growth is primarily associated with infection and mycosis progression, with causing deep-seated mycosis and summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Magnesium accelerates hyphal growth in , leading to multi-septation, vacuolar expansion, and decreased lipid droplet size. However, the commonality of these phenotypes has not been studied in Trichosporonales yeasts.

Background: Summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis (SHP) has been reported to occur during warm and humid summer seasons in Japan; however, the effect of weather conditions on SHP remains unknown. Anti-Trichosporon asahii antibody (TaAb) test is highly specific and useful for the diagnosing SHP. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the impact of weather conditions on SHP by examining the relationship between the positivity rate of TaAb and warm and humid days.

Article Synopsis
  • The Japanese Respiratory Society has released a new clinical practice guide for diagnosing hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), outlining various common types of HP found in Japan and emphasizing the importance of identifying specific antigens for effective diagnosis and treatment.
  • The guide features a comprehensive antigen questionnaire tailored to local outbreak sources and adopts diagnostic criteria based on imaging, exposure assessment, and laboratory results, while including additional notes for clarification.
  • It stresses the significance of avoiding antigens, monitoring biomarkers like KL-6 levels, and provides insights into pharmacological management strategies for treating fibrotic HP, including combination therapies.
