Abstract

Aim. Detection of correlation between quantity of fungi and concentration of polysaccharides in dust of living quarters in Moscow. Materials and methods. Micromycetes from home dust were iso- lated by dilution method (1:1000). Polysaccharide concentration in home dust was evaluated by using gel-thromb test (Lal-test, Associates of Cape Cod Inc.). Results. Correlation between quantity of fungi and concentration of polysaccharide in home dust was not detected. Conclusion. For pyrogenic load evaluation in quarters besides detection of quantity of micromycetes and exposition of micro- genic allergens, consideration of concentration of polysaccharide compounds is also actual.
