Abstract

Background: Examination of the miRNA profile post-fungal exposure demonstrated a large number 
of altered miRNAs, study by Denning support previously reported immune responses following A. 
fumigatus exposure, furthermore, altered miRNAs may serve as potential biomarkers to evaluate 
fungal exposure. objective: To discuss pulmonary MicroRNA in subchronic Aspergillus fumigates 
exposure and discuss methods of detection of pulmonary aspergillosis by microRNA. Summary: The 
genus Aspergillus is extraordinary as exemplified by the diversity of its disease manifestations, almost 
all termed ―aspergillosis‖, Downregulated miRNAs predicted to target Il13, Il33, and Clec7awere 
identified, suggesting a possible mechanism that contributes in part to an immune response following 
subchronic exposures to A. fumigatus.These altered miRNAs may serve as potential biomarkers to
evaluate fungal exposure.
