In certain cases, allergic respiratory phenomena appear to be connected with a particular dwelling place. This observations, if it is not explained by a specific allergen (eg. an animal), raises the possible contribution of domestic moulds. The author shows the results of a study on domestic moulds in 65 houses in the Bouches-du-Rhône by culture on Petri dishes. The species most often detected were Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Alternaria. In some houses identical fungi were found to those in the atmosphere, in others greater numbers were found inside than outside. The study of fungal spores is of great interest; it gives an idea of their numerical importance which can be considerable; in addition besides those fungi which are present in the routine battery of tests, it may show other species that should perhaps be considered in the diagnostic aetiology.
在某些情况下，过敏性呼吸道现象似乎与特定的居住场所有关。如果这种观察结果不能用特定的过敏原（如动物）来解释，那么室内霉菌可能起了作用。作者通过在培养皿上培养，展示了对罗讷河口省65所房屋内室内霉菌的研究结果。最常检测到的菌种是枝孢菌、青霉菌、曲霉菌、链格孢菌。在一些房屋中，发现的真菌与大气中的相同，而在另一些房屋中，室内发现的真菌数量比室外更多。对真菌孢子的研究很有意义；它能让人了解它们的数量规模，这可能相当可观；此外，除了常规检测中出现的那些真菌外，它还可能显示出在诊断病因时或许应予以考虑的其他菌种。
