*2.1.1.3 Eosinophils and basophils*

Eosinophils and Basophils are both granulocytes characterized by their content of intracellular granules. These cells become especially active during an allergic response and are responsible for releasing histamine [9]. Fungi also represent a source of major allergens.

While the roles of eosinophils in an allergic disease associated with fungal sensitization is still debatable or even poorly understood, their contributions to remodeling are more accepted.
