Survey Study of the Allergic Fungi in Kirkuk Area and Use Molecular Detection for Identification
Keywords:
Allergic fungi, Outdoor, Indoor fungi, PCRAbstract
The study was carried out at the period from 1st February 2013 until 31st January 2014 in order to determine the relationship of the allergic fungi with the lower bronchial allergy patients and study the occurrence of fungal in indoor and outdoor building. Two hundred samples of sputum were collected from the respiratory tract infected patients and 20 samples sputum from healthy persons, which ranged in age from less than five to more than 51 years of both sexes the results showed that the rate of infection among examined cases were 134 (67%), by direct microscopy and culturing. The rate of infection in females was higher78 (58.2%) than males 56 (41.7%).The distribution of positive cases
