“…1,[3][4][5][6] However, candida infection is responsible for approximately 30% of RVV cases. 7 In this prospective study, we aimed to investigate the rate of aeroallergen sensitivity in patients with RVV of undetermined etiology.…”
We concluded that a significant number of RVV is associated with atopy. Although the exact mechanism(s) of this relationship remains to be investigated atopy might be a causative and/or contributing factor in the pathogenesis of RVV.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
