Early fungal exposure can enhance allergy risk
Last Updated: 2006-07-05 15:08:25 -0400 (Reuters Health)
By David Douglas
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Exposure to certain airborne fungal spores in early childhood may increase the risk of developing non-fungal allergies, according to researchers at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio. Conversely, some fungal types seem to protect against the development of allergies.
"It turns out that the health effects of airborne fungal spores are more complicated than we thought," one of the researchers, Dr. Tiina Reponen, said in a statement.
Reponen and colleagues examined the possible health consequences of such exposure in a study of 144 infants, published in the June 14th online issue of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology.
The subjects were evaluated and underwent skin prick tests for 17 allergens. They were then fitted with the Button Personal Inhalable Aerosol Sampler, (SKC), a device that samples air over 48 hours and is almost 100-percent effective in collecting particles of 1 micrometer in diameter.
Although no relationship was seen between total fungal counts and positive results on the skin prick test, there were several significant associations between types of fungi and health outcomes.
The researchers found a correlation between detection of Basidiospores and nasal infection, as well as between Penicillium and Aspergillus and testing positive for any allergen.
However, there was an inverse association between exposure to Cladosporium and having a positive skin test for any allergen.
The researchers suggest that some type of fungi increase the likelihood of developing allergies, while others may have a protective effect.
"To understand the clinical implications of these findings, Reponen told Reuters Health, "we need to continue the follow-up these children and investigate how the early exposure affects their health later in life."

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A variation of a cancer-causing gene called SNP309 interacts with an anti-cancer gene, known as p53, to influence a woman's odds of surviving breast cancer, according to a report in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Stefan Ambs, from the National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, and colleagues investigated whether SNP309 was associated with breast cancer risk and outcome and whether it interacted with p53 to affect survival.
Alone, SNP309 did not affect survival, but in combination with certain p53 changes, it seemed to reduce survival.
Researchers have begun developing drugs that target the proteins produced by p53, Ambs said. "Depending on the status of SNP309, a patient may respond well or may not have a good response to those or other drugs. Thus, the relationship between SNP309 status and the response to treatment should be studied."
