To report on the correlation between indoor mold exposure and a case of multifocal choroiditis (MFC).
Observational case report.
A 37-year-old woman diagnosed with MFC who had had extensive mold exposure underwent an allergic evaluation, including a comprehensive environmental history, physical examination, radioallergosorbent test, and skin testing.
The patient's vision deteriorated after numerous recurrences of MFC triggered by exposure to extremely high mold environments (mold counts recorded between 3,000 and 13,000 mold spores/m(3)).
Exposure to high indoor mold count environments may be a factor in the etiology of MFC. Further studies are indicated.
报告室内霉菌暴露与一例多灶性脉络膜炎(MFC)之间的相关性。
观察性病例报告。
一名37岁被诊断为MFC且有大量霉菌暴露史的女性接受了过敏评估,包括全面的环境史、体格检查、放射变应原吸附试验和皮肤试验。
在暴露于极高霉菌环境(记录的霉菌计数在3000至13000个霉菌孢子/立方米之间)引发MFC多次复发后,患者视力下降。
暴露于室内高霉菌计数环境可能是MFC病因中的一个因素。需要进一步研究。
