visible mold or dampness exposure increased the risks of allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.28) and rhinoconjunctivitis (OR = 1.23) in middle-age children (12–13 years old), and total IgE levels ≥ 78 kU/l (i.e., positive) also increased the risks of allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.44) and rhinoconjunctivitis (OR = 1.99)14. Here, IGHE is linked to allergic rhinitis.
