Associated Conditions for Mold allergy
Excerpts on associated medical conditions for Mold allergy:
Fungi or microorganisms related to them may cause other health problems
similar to allergic diseases. Some kinds of Aspergillus
may cause several
different illnesses, including both infections and allergy. These fungi may
lodge in the airways or a distant part of the lung and grow until they form a
compact sphere known as a "fungus ball." In people with lung damage or serious
underlying illnesses, Aspergillus
may grasp the opportunity to invade the
lungs or the whole body. (Source: excerpt from Something in the Air Airborne Allergens: NIAID

between this list and risk factors
for Mold allergy.
