Correlation between the prevalence of certain fungi and sick building syndrome.
TL;DR: Propagules of Penicillium and Stachybotrys species may be associated with sick building syndrome and the indoor air fungal profile that was similar to that outdoors.

TL;DR: It is suggested that long term inhalation of viable P chrysogenum propagules induces type 2 T helper cell mediated (Th2) inflammatory responses such as increases in total and conidia-specific serum IgE and IgG1, together with BAL fluid levels of IL-4 and IL-5 and peripheral and airway eosinophilia, which are mediators of allergic reactions.

Fungi and the indoor environment: their impact on human health.
TL;DR: This chapter elucidates the role of fungi in the phenomenon of sick building syndrome and identifies one other important respiratory disease caused by the inhalation of Penicillium species conidia : cheese worker's lung or cheese washer's disease, an occupational disease.

Allergic inflammation induced by a Penicillium chrysogenum conidia-associated allergen extract in a murine model.
TL;DR: The present study was conducted to determine the specific allergic dose response of C57BL/6 mice to the protease extract, Pen ch, isolated from viable P. chrysogenum conidia.
