This study was realized to detect the prevalence of sensitization to alergenic fungi in
Mexican patients with respiratory allergies. Skin prick test was practiced to 299 patients
with asthma (165) and allergic rhinitis (134) from Michoacan State and Jalisco-León, Gto.
Alternaria (35,3%), Mucor (24,1%), Aspergillus (23,2%), Hormodendrium (23,2%),
Helmintosporium (20,6%) and Candida (18,9%) were the fungi genera more frequently
appeared during the test. The sensitization to fungal allergens was increased during the
periods evaluated, for the patients from Michoacan varied from 19.23% (2004-2006) to
80.76% (2007-June 2009) and for the patients from Altos de Jalisco-Leon, Gto. the
percentages detected were 48.88% and 51.11%, respectively. In adition, differences
between the frequency of fungi genera caused positive skin prick test between both
2 regions (x= 154,226, gl = 10, p< 0.001) were observed
