Popis: For many years we have been interested in the role of inhalant allergens in the production of eczematous dermatitis (1-3). In testing with the various inhalant allergens, the greatest number of positive reactions of the delayed 24-48 hour type was found with molds, followed in frequency by dust and feathers. Molds are common to these three, for they are always present in dust, and may be the activating factor in feather antigenicity.
