Abstract
1. 1. Sixty-seven of a group of 526 patients gave histories strongly suggestive of mold sensitivity. 2. 2. Reagins to molds were demonstrated by passive transfer in thirteen of eighteen patients skin-sensitive to molds. The size and intensity of the direct skin test was indicative but not diagnostic of the presence of reagins. 3. 3. Thirty-three of 526 patients, or 7.3 per cent of the total number, developed systemic reactions to mold injections. 4. 4. Provocative tests were made on sixty-one patients who were skin sensitive to mold, and twenty-two, or 36 per cent, of these gave positive provocative reactions, thus demonstrating the presence of clinical sensitivity. 5. 5. Mold sensitivity is not uncommon and must be taken into account in any complete study of the allergic state.
