“…With the use of this test, it has been established that in certain types of HP, various agents can be the cause in different individuals, and, although it is less common, different agents can be implicated in the same patient (20). In the few available case reports, several Penicillium species have been described as etiological agents of this type of HP (23)(24), and one study has shown that sensitization to Penicillium nalgiovense is frequent among workers exposed to mold during brushing in dry sausage plants (31).…”

“…In rare cases, handling or ingestion of salami may also provoke angio‐oedema (2, 6). A more common finding is hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by Penicillium nalgiovense as an occupational disease in salami factory workers (7–9). In addition, mould exposure in salami and Camembert factories may also cause occupational IgE‐mediated asthma (10, 11).…”

“…Salami brusher’s disease occurs because of the inhalation of spores from P. glabrum , Penicillium camemberti , Penicillium nalgiovense , A. fumigatus , and Cladosporium spp. In food processing facilities, workers responsible for removing the excess of white mold growing on the salami’s surface use a manual wire brush that aerolizes these bioparticles [ 113 , 114 ].…”

Biological particles, along with inorganic gaseous and particulate pollutants, constitute an ever-present component of the atmosphere and surfaces. Among these particles are fungal species colonizing almost all ecosystems, including the human body. Although inoffensive to most people, fungi can be responsible for several health problems, such as allergic fungal diseases and fungal infections. Worldwide fungal disease incidence is increasing, with new emerging fungal diseases appearing yearly. Reasons for this increase are the expansion of life expectancy, the number of immunocompromised patients (immunosuppressive treatments for transplantation, autoimmune diseases, and immunodeficiency diseases), the number of uncontrolled underlying conditions (e.g., diabetes mellitus), and the misusage of medication (e.g., corticosteroids and broad-spectrum antibiotics). Managing fungal diseases is challenging; only four classes of antifungal drugs are available, resistance to these drugs is increasing, and no vaccines have been approved. The present work reviews the implications of fungal particles in human health from allergic diseases (i.e., allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, severe asthma with fungal sensitization, thunderstorm asthma, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, and occupational lung diseases) to infections (i.e., superficial, subcutaneous, and systemic infections). Topics such as the etiological agent, risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment will be revised to improve the knowledge of this growing health concern.
