[Study on the relationship of airborne sensitization fungus and anaphylactic rhinitis in Wuhan].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of our studies is to explore the relation between superior sensitizing fungus and anaphylactic rhinitis, for directing the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease.


METHODS
Three hundred and ninety-two persons were treated by allergen skin test. Using 15 main sensitizing fungus, 90 anaphylactic rhinitis were examined. The serum level of IgE were examined, too.


RESULTS
In the allergen skin testing 239 cases (60.97%) were positive, the positive rate was higher than that in contrast group (t = 5.47, P < 0.01). The main fungus allergen were Rhizopus nigricans, Cuvularia and Altevnaria, the value of IgE in patients group was higher than that in control group (t = 5.47, P < 0.01).


CONCLUSIONS
It proves that airborne sensitizing fungus are important causes of anaphylactic rhinitis.
