title: [Does immediate-type respiratory allergy occur regarding Stemphylium? Evaluation of 39 challenge tests].
abstract: Does immediate respiratory allergy with stemphylium exist? About 39 provocation tests. We present 39 children with positive cutaneous and/or RAST tests for stemphylium mold. Provocation tests individualize 19 patients (14 boys and 4 girls, 10 to 16 years old in 17/19) with a respiratory sensitivity: 6/10 by passive anterior rhinomanometry and 13/15 by bronchial tests. Clinical symptoms are asthma and spasmodic rhinitis (14/19), predominantly from june to august. We noted a mite allergy in 11 cases and a grass pollenosis in 13 children. Positive cutaneous and/or RAST tests are found for alternaria mold in 13/19 cases. We undertook a specific hyposensitization in 14 children with a three years experience in 10 cases. Tolerance is excellent. This provocation respiratory exploration shows the important role played by stemphylium mold in the etiology of recurring respiratory incidents in children.
