In the 12-month period between February 2014 and January 2015, this study was carried out in the homes of 55 asthma patients living in 14 different regions of Istanbul (Ataşehir, Bulgurlu, Fikirtepe, Hasanpaşa, İçerenköy, Moda, Göztepe, Çekmeköy, Ümraniye, Altayçeşme Neighborhood, Esenkent Neighborhood, Feyzullah Neighborhood, Gülsuyu Neighborhood, Yalı Neighborhood). Air ideal (Biomerieux, France) air vacuuming device was used to determine the fungal flora in the domestic ambient air of the relevant patients. In this context, in order to prevent bacterial growth, Streptomycin antibiotic was added and Rose Bengali potato dextrose agar was placed in the slot of the device and the air filter of the device was installed. The device, which was placed at a height of 75-85 cm from the ground, was operated for 3-5 minutes and 200 liters of domestic ambient air was vacuumed. A total of 1071 microfungi colonies isolated in the study were found to belong to a total of 10 genuses and 23 species. The obtained genera are Alternaria (Arıküfü), Aspergillus (Asper), Aureobasidium (Karamaya), Chaetomium (Günoku), Cladosporium (Havaküfü), Fusarium (Solduran), Mucor (Ekmekküfü), Paecilomyces (Günküfü), Penicillium (Penisilyum) and Rhizopus (Karaküf). Among them, the most isolated genera were Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium, Alternaria and Fusarium. The most isolated species in this study were Aspergillus niger (Kara asper), Fusarium poae (Buğday solduran), Alternaria alternata (Astımküfü), Cladosporium cladosporioides (Karakökküfü), Penicillium brevicompactum (Sağlam penisilyum), Cladosporium macrocarpum (İrikurutan), Cladosporium sphaerospermum (Güllekurutan) and Penicillium glabrum (Bol penisilyum). In the 12-month period, the lowest microfungi concentration was observed in January and the highest microfungi concentration was observed in May. During the study, the temperature of the sample areas were measured with a thermometer and the humidity rates were measured with a hygrometer. In this study, the types of allergen microfungus that cause the onset of asthma disease or the progression of the degree of disease are stated. These were determined as Alternaria alternariae (Fıstık küfü), Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus (Kıran asper), Aspergillus niger, Aureobasidium pullulans (Karamaya), Chaetomium globosum (Top günoku), Cladosporium cladosporioides, Cladosporium herbarum (Yaygınkurutan), Cladosporium sphaerospermum, Penicillium chrysogenum (Penisilyum), Penicillium glabrum.
I would like to thank and pay my respects to Asst. Prof. Dr. İskender KARALTI for providing laboratory support in the conduct of the study and providing all kinds of materials and equipment support.
Şubat 2014-Ocak 2015 tarihleri arasındaki 12 aylık zaman periyodunda, İstanbul’un 14 farklı bölgesinde (Ataşehir, Bulgurlu, Fikirtepe, Hasanpaşa, İçerenköy, Moda, Göztepe, Çekmeköy, Ümraniye, Altayçeşme Mahallesi, Esenkent Mahallesi, Feyzullah Mahallesi, Gülsuyu Mahallesi, Yalı Mahallesi) yaşayan 55 astım hastasının ev ortamlarında bu çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. İlgili hastaların ev içi hava ortamında bulunan fungal floranın belirlenmesi amacıyla Air Ideal (Biomerieux, France) hava vakumlama cihazı kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda bakteriyel üremeyi önlemek amacıyla Streptomisin antibiyotiği eklenmiş Rose Bengalli patates dekstroz agarlar cihazın yuvasına yerleştirilmiş ve cihazın hava filtresi takılmıştır. Yerden 75-85 cm yüksekliğe konulan cihaz 3-5 dakika çalıştırılarak 200 litre ev içi ortam havası vakumlanmıştır. Araştırmada izole edilen toplam 1071 mikrofungus kolonisinin toplam 10 genus ve 23 türe ait olduğu saptanmıştır. Elde edilen cinsler Alternaria, Aspergillus, Aureobasidium, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Fusarium, Mucor, Paecilomyces, Penicillium ve Rhizopus’tur. Bunların içerisinde en fazla izole edilen cinsler; Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium, Alternaria ve Fusarium olmuştur. Bu çalışmada en fazla izole edilen türler; Aspergillus niger, Fusarium poae, Alternaria alternata, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Penicillium brevicompactum, Cladosporium macrocarpum, Cladosporium sphaerospermum ve Penicillium glabrum olmuştur. 12 aylık zaman periyodunda en az mikrofungus konsantrasyonu Ocak ayında, en fazla mikrofungus konsantrasyonu ise Mayıs ayında görülmüştür. Çalışma süresince örneklem alanlarının termometre ile sıcaklığı, higrometre ile nem oranlarının ölçümleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada astım hastalığının başlamasına ya da hastalık derecesinin ilerlemesine neden olan allerjen mikrofungus türleri belirtilmiştir. Bunlar; Alternaria alternariae, Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Aureobasidium pullulans, Chaetomium globosum, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Cladosporium herbarum, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium glabrum olarak tespit edilmiştir.

The works submitted to our journals are first judged grammatically. After this phase, articles are sent two reviewers. If necessary, the third reviewer is assessed. In the publication of works, a decision is made by evaluating the level of contribution to science and readers within the criteria specified in the writing rules. Reviewers are requested to submit their assessments within 30 days at the latest. The reviewers' evaluations and the answers to these evaluations are reviewed by the editor and it is decided whether the work will be published or not.
