The incidence of allergic diseases worldwide is rapidly increasing, making allergies a modern pandemic. This article intends to review published reports addressing the role of fungi as causative agents in the development of various overreactivity-related diseases, mainly affecting the respiratory tract. After presenting the basic information on the mechanisms of allergic reactions, we describe the impact of fungal allergens on the development of the allergic diseases. Human activity and climate change have an impact on the spread of fungi and their plant hosts. Particular attention should be paid to microfungi, i.e., plant parasites that may be an underestimated source of new allergens.
全球过敏性疾病的发病率正在迅速上升，使过敏成为一种现代流行病。本文旨在综述已发表的报告，这些报告探讨了真菌作为各种过度反应相关疾病（主要影响呼吸道）发病原因的作用。在介绍了过敏反应机制的基本信息后，我们描述了真菌过敏原对过敏性疾病发展的影响。人类活动和气候变化对真菌及其植物宿主的传播有影响。应特别关注微真菌，即植物寄生虫，它们可能是新过敏原的一个被低估的来源。
