The role of Basidiospores in the @entity56 diathesis is poorly understood. Dialyzed extracts of Agaricus campestris, Coprinus micaceus, Fuligo septica, Lycoperdon perlatum, @entity2631 , @entity3121 , and sooty mold were prepared from fresh spores. The study group consisted of 100 @entity1 with @entity565 and 100 @entity1 with @entity2023 . These 200 @entity1 had symptoms occurring during October and November. All were intradermally skin tested with the seven extracts at concentrations of 1 microgram/mL or 10 micrograms/mL. No scratch or pressure puncture tests were performed. Skin tests were recorded at 15 minutes (pos = 5-mm wheal with 10-mm @entity5105 or greater) and at six or 24 hours (pos = 6 mm or greater of induration and @entity5105 ). A total of 436 immediate reactions were observed in the asthmatic group (4.4/ @entity1 ) compared with 129 in the rhinitic group (1.3/ @entity1 ). The late phase reactions were just the opposite. The asthmatic group had 66 late phase reactions or 0.7/ @entity1 compared with 382 or 3.8/ @entity1 in the rhinitic group. This study demonstrates that @entity1 with @entity565 have a higher incidence of immediate skin sensitivity by intradermal testing, whereas @entity1 with @entity2023 have late phase sensitivity to these fungal spores. This study was performed in the eastern United States only; therefore, the clinical significance of the results will become more apparent once this study is repeated in other parts of the country by other investigators.
