Residential fungal β-(1,3)-D-glucan exposure is associated with decreased pulmonary function in fibrotic pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> Sarcoidosis is a multi-system disease frequently affecting the lungs. It is thought to be mediated by gene-environment interaction; for example, epidemiological data show organic aerosol exposure increases risk of pulmonary sarcoidosis. <bold>Research Question:</bold> Does exposure to bioaerosol associate with worse lung disease in patients with pulmonary sarcoi...
