As many as 360 children with bronchial asthma were examined for fungal sensitization. In addition to intracutaneous tests, use was made of the natural leukocyte migration inhibition test and leukocyte lysis test under the action of a specific allergen. The data obtained attest to a high portion (23.3%) of fungal sensitization among children suffering from bronchial asthma in the BSSR, high specificity of the leukocyte migration inhibition test and leukocyte lysis in the diagnosis of fungal sensitization.
