Asthma is a major cause of childhood hospital admission, impairs quality of life, contributes to high financial burdens on families and health system and can lead to chronic lung problems. Little is known about the combined effects of outdoor fungi, air pollutants and viruses in causing asthma exacerbations. This research aims to investigate the role of outdoor fungi in child asthma hospitalisations and how their role links with respiratory viral infections and changes in air quality.

哮喘是儿童住院的一个主要原因，影响生活质量，给家庭和卫生系统造成沉重的经济负担，并可能导致慢性肺部问题。室外真菌、空气污染物和病毒在引起哮喘恶化方面的综合影响知之甚少。本研究旨在调查室外真菌在儿童哮喘住院中的作用，以及它们的作用如何与呼吸道病毒感染和空气质量变化联系起来。
