Quer na rinite alérgica quer em saudáveis o micobioma da cavidade nasal inclui fungos alergénicos e oportunistas. Os doentes com rinite e asma têm maior diversidade de conexões do micobioma e expressão aumentada de 3 vias metabólicas.

In both healthy and allergic rhinitis, the nasal cavity is a major reservoir of allergenic or opportunistic fungi. Rhinitis and comorbid asthma had higher and more diverse mycobiome networks, overexpressing 3 pathways of AIR biosynthesis https://t.co/VT5KK30zb2 #AIMedEd @FMUPorto

Open Access: Heterogeneity of sensitization profiles and clinical phenotypes among patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis in Southern European countries—The @IT.2020 multicenter study. First and corresponding author: S. Dramburg

Within the @IT.2020 multicenter observational study, pediatric and adult patients suffering from seasonal allergic #rhinitis were recruited in nine study centers from seven countries. Sensitization profiles were very heterogeneous, but grass pollen major allergenic molecules were among the top three sensitizers in all study centers. Poly-sensitization was prevalent in Rome, Athens, and Tirana, while one single pollen was predominant in Valencia (olive), Marseille (cypress), Messina (pellitory), Porto, Istanbul, and Izmir (grass).
