Journal Title: Alergoprofil - Year 2009, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Torula is an ubiquitous, cosmopolitan mould that may play a more predominant role in allergy than previously thought. Torula spore are 20–65×5–10 micrometers in size often found in straight chain and sometimes branched chain formation. The dark brown or olive brown chains may contain rounded or broken ends. The chains are usually strongly constricted at the septa. It has subsequently been reported as having allergenic properties and have been implicated in the elicitation of respiratory allergic diseases.
