It has been reported that provocation test with the use of inhalant allergens is the most reliable method for confirming the causal allergens in bronchial asthrna*-5). However, reports on the studies on the significance of molds in childhood bronchial asthma using the inhalation provocation test are few even in Europe and America. Since 1964, the authors have been conducting skin tests and inhalation provocation tests on children with asthma. We have been attempting to find children with asthma in whom it could be shown to be due to mold allergy.
