Airborne fungi were collected during the summer and winter seasons. A N6 Andersen sampler was used inside and outside the homes of 46 asthmatic children, 20 atopic children, and 26 nonatopic control children in the Taipei area. In addition, host and house characteristics were obtained by questionnaire. The indoor fungus concentrations of asthmatic and control groups were higher than those in atopic groups in summer, but there were no differences in total fungus concentrations among three groups in winter. Concentration differences among these three groups also occurred for Cladosporium and Penicillium in summer and for Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium, and yeast in the winter. Moreover, it was demonstrated that no differences in fungus concentration were observed between damp and dry homes. Penicillium concentrations appeared to be related to home dampness. Home dampness was associated with allergic symptoms in children with asthma and rhinitis. An association was also observed between the occurrence of Cladosporium and history of asthma.
在夏季和冬季收集空气传播的真菌。在台北地区，使用N6 Andersen采样器在46名哮喘儿童、20名特应性儿童和26名非特应性对照儿童的家中内外进行采样。此外，通过问卷调查获取宿主和房屋特征。夏季，哮喘组和对照组的室内真菌浓度高于特应性组，但冬季三组的总真菌浓度没有差异。夏季这三组之间对于枝孢菌和青霉菌的浓度存在差异，冬季对于曲霉菌、枝孢菌、青霉菌和酵母菌的浓度也存在差异。此外，结果表明，潮湿和干燥的房屋之间未观察到真菌浓度的差异。青霉菌浓度似乎与房屋潮湿有关。房屋潮湿与哮喘和鼻炎儿童的过敏症状相关。还观察到枝孢菌的出现与哮喘病史之间存在关联。
