In our clinic we have encountered nasal allergy due to fungi such as Candida, Aspergillus, and Alternaria. We therefore conducted a retrospective study of patients who consulted our Department between 1984 and 1991. A clinical review of patients who showed a positive skin test for Candida, Aspergillus, or Alternaria was performed. Our study revealed that Alternaria showed the highest ratio of strong positivity upon both RAST and skin test among the three fungi examined. These results led us to reconsider Alternaria as an important fungal antigen.
