Abstract
Las esporas de hongos son uno de los principales alérgenos del hombre, entre ellas, las esporas de Alternaria son las principales causantes de patologías alérgicas.
Éste género de hongos está constituido por más de 50 especies y se encuentra distribuido por todo el mundo. La estación principal de esporas en los países cálidos como España puede llegar a ser el doble de larga y alcanzar picos de concentración mucho más altos que en los países del norte de Europa. Los días pico los encontramos a principios y finales del verano cuando las condiciones climáticas son más propicias. Los picos más altos se
dan en zonas del sur de la península con climas más cálidos y secos.
Las esporas de Alternaria alternata son las más fuertemente relacionadas con el asma y la rinitis alérgica. Las concentraciones de esporas de estos hongos existen, principalmente, al aire libre. Por ello es recomendable mantener las ventanas cerradas durante las estaciones de elevada producción de esporas.
Fungal spores are one of the main allergens of man, among them, the spores of Alternaria are the main cause of allergic diseases. This genus of fungi is made up of more than 50 species and is distributed throughout the world. The main spore station in warm countries such as Spain can be twice as long and reach concentration peaks much higher than in the northern European countries. The peak days are found in the early and late summer when the weather conditions are more favorable. The highest peaks occur in areas of the south of the peninsula with warmer and drier climates. The spores of Alternaria alternata are the most strongly related to asthma and allergic rhinitis. The concentrations of spores of these fungi exist, mainly, in the open air. For this reason it is advisable to keep the windows closed during the seasons of high production of spores.
