摘要：

Daily saunas taken by a young man were followed by fever, chills, malaise, dyspnea, cough and myalgia from 6-8 h later. Symptoms, which were related to pouring water from a sauna bucket over the heating element, progressed to chronic dyspnea and fatigue. Serial serum samples showed precipitin reactions to bucket water and extracts of bucket mold. IgG [immunoglobulin G] antibody activity, demonstrated by radioimmunoassay, suggested that Pullularia was a major antigen.
