LP13999-5   Aspergillus terreus
A mold, which may result in allergy symptoms in sensitised individuals.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that Aspergillus terreus may induce symptoms of hypersensitivity, including asthma, allergic alveolitis and hypersensitivity pneumonitis in sensitised individuals. However, few studies have been reported to date; it is possible that the allergy occurs more frequently than has been reported. A. terreus has been recognised as a cause of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Copyright Copyright © 2006 Phadia AB. Source: ImmunoCap, ImmunoCap
