“…On the other hand, the genera of molds measured by culturing did not show any significant differences, even for the genus Aspergillus. As Chen et al (2014) noted in their study of mold and asthma in schools, the ''species responsible for the development and attack of asthma remains inconsistent.'' Therefore, the identification and quantification of mold species in the homes of asthmatic children could be important in developing an understanding of the etiology of asthma.…”

“…com) tiene un sponsor farmacéutico que en forma gratuita permite acceder al cuestionario (disponible en diversos idiomas) responderlo como estrategia de control del asma por ejemplo 1 vez al mes, y tener en base al puntaje final una apreciación del nivel de control con sugerencias de acción que eventualmente pueden sugerir la visita al médico tratante para modificaciones en el tratamiento y alcanzar el "control total" de la enfermedad (20,27) . Es conocido que la exposición a alérgenos o humo de cigarrillo dentro del hogar, alérgenos externos y polución ambiental pueden exacerbar los síntomas de asma y eventualmente provocar mayores consultas en emergencia y hospitalizaciones (28)(29)(30)(31) . Por lo que la educación del paciente con asma se considera uno de los pilares del tratamiento y es un proceso continuo cuyo objetivo es proporcionar la información necesaria y promover las conductas adecuadas para poder aplicar correctamente el plan de tratamiento, la comunicación deberá ser fluida y de mutua confianza entre el personal de salud, el niño con asma y sus padres; por otro lado la identificación de los desencadenantes medioambientales sean estos alérgenos o irritantes físicos o químicos que inducen la inflamación bronquial es importante y evitarlos puede contribuir en forma clara a una reducción de los síntomas (2,(8)(9)(10) .…”

Using a meta-analysis, Sharpe et al [133] summarized that an increase in asthma exacerbation in children around the world correlated with exposure levels of Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and Penicillium species.…”
