Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Aspergillus-sensitized asthma accounts for more than 30% of adult asthma cases and is the most difficult airway disease to treat.
Unlike other fungi, Aspergillus is an airway decomposer, making environmental measures ineffective and more problematic in humid Japan. If allergen immunotherapy proves to be clinically useful and improves the airway fungal flora, it may become a less expensive curative treatment, leading to additional studies and guidelines in the future.
