The current 2023 update to the AWMF mold guideline is intended to allay or channel fears and provide assistance for a sensible diagnosis and treatment decision. […] The detection of an IgE-mediated allergy implies for allergists Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) as an established treatment option. However, compared to the well-validated AIT with pollen and house dust mites, the decision to use AIT with mold extracts must be weighed more heavily between the benefits and risks. […] There are only reliable clinical studies on the effectiveness of AIT for IgE-mediated mold allergies for Alternaria alternata, which is predominantly found in outdoor air. […] The clinical efficacy and tolerability of Alternaria alternata AIT has been demonstrated in several clinical trials in children and adults.

  If there is evidence of relevant sensitization to Alternaria and grass pollen, AIT with two allergen extracts, in this case grass pollen and Alternaria alternata, can be considered for selected patients. […] Currently, the indication for AIT in cases of allergy to indoor molds should be made with great caution. […] There is good evidence in the literature for the efficacy of AIT, particularly with Alternaria extracts.

  This is an important area of practice. The guideline gives an update regarding mold immunotherapy development. For allergy to spores of seasonal outdoor molds, evidence of clinical efficacy is limited to a few SCIT studies with Alternaria alternate and Cladosporium herbarum extracts. A 3-year DBPC trial in children with Alternaria allergy demonstrated efficacy of SCIT beginning in the 2nd year of treatment. […] To overcome this problem, a multicenter Spanish study in 111 adolescents and adults shows promising results with SCIT using recombinant Alt a1. However, it will be some time before an approved compound will have been developed. In total there are only seven controlled trial of allergen immunotherapy to Alternaria, one to Cladosporium and single case reports or uncontrolled studies for Candida albicans or Aspergillus fumigatus which are not sufficient for their recommendation.

  Specific immunotherapy would be an antigen-specific, long-lasting and disease-modifying approach for the treatment of mold allergy. […] However, studies with mold extracts, predominately Alternaria and Cladosporium species, have been performed. […] Based on the high incidence of adverse reactions, mold extracts were stated as „less tolerated” than other allergen extracts. […] Improvements are therefore needed that allow the safe administration of sufficiently high doses. […] Recombinant allergens with known cross-reactivity are additionally useful tools as marker allergens to identify cross-sensitization. […] In summary, mold allergy has long been underestimated and occurs more frequently than expected. […] Therefore, the precise determination of the disease-causing allergen source is particularly important for mold allergy and is the basis to correctly prescribe the most appropriate specific forms of treatment.

  Allergens from fungi mainly cause respiratory and skin symptoms in sensitized patients. […] Due to the poor quality of natural fungal allergen extracts, diagnosis of fungal allergy is hampered, and allergen-specific immunotherapy is rarely given. […] Moreover, technologies are now available for the preparation of recombinant and synthetic fungal allergen derivatives which can be used to develop safe vaccines for the treatment of fungal allergy. […] A prerequisite for the development of allergic sensitization is that individuals are exposed to the allergen source in clinically relevant amounts. […] The clinical relevance is further dictated by the frequency of the allergen’s occurrence and the amount of allergen liberated by a mold species. […] The first and most important step toward efficient allergen-specific forms of treatment is the proper diagnosis of mold sensitization and the evaluation of the clinical relevance of the sensitizing allergens.
