Different fungi groups behind allergy-induced sniffles, asthma

Study says nasal cavity major reservoir for fungi likely involved in allergic rhinitis and asthma

People with allergy-induced sniffles and asthma may have different fungal colonies or mycobiomes in their noses, finds a study. The common respiratory disease, formally called allergic rhinitis, has frequently been associated with asthma. Typical symptoms of allergic rhinitis include sneezing, itching, inflamed nasal mucous membranes, and a blocked and runny nose. It's often comorbid with asthma, which also involves inflammation and obstructed airways.
