This study covered 44 children (50% pre-school) and their corresponding homes. The percentage correlation of positive skin test and presence of fungi in the home was 53% for Alternaria, 39% for Cladosporium, 27% for Aspergillus and 21% for Penicillium. There was no correlation for Helmirithosporium or Pullularia. The results differ from some other studies reported.
