Abstract: Fungal spores are ubiquitous in the environment. Exposure levels in workplaces where mouldy materials are handled are much higher than in common indoor and outdoor environments. Febrile attacks of organic dust toxic syndrome (ODTS) and hypersensitivity pneumonitis may occur after episodes with excessive exposure. In common indoor environments irritation symptoms have been ascribed to fungi at much lower exposure levels, especially in damp buildings. The specificity of the response to fungi... more
Soppsporer finnes overalt i miljøet. I arbeidsmiljø hvor materialer med soppveksthåndteres kan eksponeringen for soppsporer bli mye høyere enn det som er vanliginnendørs og utendørs. Typiske feberanfall av allergisk alveolitt og organic dusttoxic syndrome kan utløses etter massiv eksponering for soppsporer. Men også iarbeidsmiljø med mye lavere eksponering er sopp blitt assosiert med plager, foreksempel i fuktige bygninger.Bronkial provokasjon av pasienter med allergisk alveolitt eller astma ... more
