| Résumé : | Mould allergy revealed by skin prick tests or by measuring specific IgE (RAST), is frequently diagnosed throughout the world. It is associated to clinical asthma, sometimes severe. Thanks to the know how of teams of specialists, surveys are carried out in home-, work- and school environments, and calendars of moulds found in our country are regularly updated. This allows practitioners to determine specific sensitisation tests (selection of skin prick tests, and RAS tests), and helps them play a role in the diagnosis strategy and the recommendations for necessary eviction and building sanitation measures. These measures are all the more important as until now standardised extracts for specific hyposensitisation to moulds are not yet available. |
