Reducing the burden of allergy and asthma in schoolchildren: Air cleaning solutions and microbial diversity—the dark side of the moon? João Cavaleiro Rufo, MSc, André Moreira, MD, PhD, Luís Delgado, MD, PhD The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice Volume 5, Issue 4, Pages 1164-1165 (July 2017) DOI: 10.1016/j.jaip.2017.04.019 Copyright © 2017 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 The influence of microbial diversity in schools on the development of allergy and asthma in children has been investigated. A microbial diversity score was defined as the sum of all the detected fungi groups/species, categorized into quartiles, with the classrooms with lower diversity score in the first quartile, whereas the fourth quartile included those with higher diversity scores. The graphics represent the logistic regression between fungal diversity scores and the prevalence of allergic sensitization (left) and asthma (right). The results are expressed as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CI in logarithmic scale. Although a clear tendency for a lower risk of allergic sensitization may be observed as the fungal diversity increases in classrooms, the same was not observed for asthma.
