Commentary: Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis
TO THE EDITOR—We read with great interest the brief report of a case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-infected patient on combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) by Galiatsatos et al [1]. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis usually complicates lung disease in patients affected by cystic fibros...

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) results from a hypersensitivity response to airways colonization with Aspergillus fumigatus, and it occurs most often in individuals with asthma or cystic fibrosis. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is an indolent, but potentially progressive, disease in patients. In patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), ABPA is rare, and...

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...
