Twenty seven patients were prospectively included and compared to a cohort of 30 control patients. The level of control of asthma at inclusion and after 1 year was evaluated by the clinical signs, the evolution of the FEV1, and the healthcare use. Environmental measurements included the fungal load of 5 surfaces of the dwellings and the evaluation of moisture. A significant clinical improvement in the population that benefited from the home counselors visit was observed compared to the baseline (p < 0.0001), as well as a decreased number of hospitalizations for asthma and of the consumption of anti-asthma drugs (p < 0.01). Dampness markers slightly improved with an improvement of the fungal loads in two-third of the dwellings. %G English %L hal-02441212 %U https://univ-rennes.hal.science/hal-02441212 %~ UNIV-RENNES1 %~ UNIV-ANGERS %~ IFR140 %~ HL %~ IRSET %~ STATS-UR1 %~ IRSET-TREC %~ IRSET-NEED %~ IRSET-TNGC %~ IRSET-LERES %~ UR1-UFR-SVE %~ UR1-HAL %~ EHESP %~ USPC %~ UR1-SDV %~ IRSET-2 %~ IRSET-9 %~ IRSET-EHESP %~ DSETGS %~ TEST-UR-CSS %~ UNIV-RENNES %~ UR1-BIO-SA
