Effects of staphylococcal enterotoxin and fungal sensitization on clinical outcomes of asthma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Staphylococcal enterotoxin and fungal sensitization can influence asthma severity; however, the effects on the clinical outcomes of asthma remain unclear. This study investigated the clinical outcomes of asthma in patients with or without staphylococcal enterotoxin sensitization and further analyzed the effects of fungal sensitization on the clinical outcomes of patients with staphylococcal enterotoxin sensitization.

Methods

This retrospective study included patients with asthma who had undergone a staphylococcal enterotoxin-specific immunoglobulin E test at our hospital between January and August 2021. Data on clinical manifestations, medication use, pulmonary function, clinic and emergency room visits and hospitalization were collected from 106 patients.
