Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis: A Diagnostic Challenge
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immunologic condition that results from an allergic immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus, most often occurring in a patient with bronchial asthma or cystic fibrosis. ABPA is diagnosed by constellation of clinical, laboratory, and radiographic criteria. In the absence of typical presentation, ABPA can be misdiagnosed. Our patient presented...

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a syndrome seen in patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis. It is characterized by chronic colonization of the airways with a ubiquitous fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus. The clinical expression of ABPA results from the complex interaction of chronic colonization of the airways with A fumigatus, host factors allowing this colonization, and the hos...

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), a progressive fungal allergic lung disease, is a common complication of asthma or cystic fibrosis. Although ABPA has been recognized since the 1950s, recent research has underscored the importance of Th2 immune deviation and granulocyte activation in its pathogenesis. There is also strong evidence of widespread under-diagnosis due to the complexit...
