Penicillium nalgiovense as an occupational and contact allergen

The implication of fungi as occupational or food allergens is much more limited. [...]the exposure to Plasmopara viticola has been related to the respiratory symptoms of a greenhouse worker,1 and the ingestion of champignon has been implicated in oral allergy syndrome.2 Processed cold meat manufacturers use mold cultures that are incorporated into the meat and on the outside of the casing to achieve the final aroma and flavor of the sausage and to protect it from wild mold growth. [...]in both patients P nalgiovense acts as an allergen present in highly consumed products, and consequently, future studies are needed to evaluate the clinical effect of P nalgiovense as an occupational, contact, and food allergen.
