𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐲𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 & 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 This research focused on identifying indoor fungal allergens contributing to asthma in sensitized children. The study involved: Screening asthmatic children with known fungal sensitivities using clinical history and skin prick tests. Conducting extensive aerobiological sampling in their residential environments to isolate potential indoor fungal allergens. Culturing and characterizing the isolated fungal strains, followed by biochemical and immunological analysis to identify antigenic protein components. Utilizing ELISA-based assays, total and specific IgE/IgG estimation, and statistical correlation analyses to determine immune response patterns. Selecting sera from skin-test positive individuals for in-depth immunological assays to evaluate allergen-specific sensitization profiles. The findings contributed to understanding the role of environmental fungi in pediatric asthma and supported the development of targeted allergen avoidance strategies.
