New Study Links Cystic Fibrosis with a High Percentage of Patients Infected with Mold

Earlier this month, a new study from the University of Manchester caught the attention of medical professionals and contractors who deal with indoor mold contamination.  The study found that almost 50% of adult patients who suffer from cystic fibrosis (CF) are also infected with Aspergillus, a common type of fungi found in the environment and in water damaged buildings. The research examined CF patient data from 30 countries.

According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, there are an estimated 30,000 people in the United States who have CF.  The new study brings to light the importance of CF patients avoiding exposure to elevated levels of Aspergillus in their homes, schools and businesses.

“In addition to being found in the outdoor environment, Aspergillus is also frequently found in household dust and on building materials in properties that have suffered moisture damage and mold growth,” said Chris Heller with FastMoldRemoval.com.  “People living, working or going to school in these contaminated indoor environments may be exposed to high levels of these spores and as this new research indicates it could be a major detriment for those with CF.”
