A Contraversy to Traditional Manifestation of ABPA: ABPA Without Asthma
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a complex disease triggered by hypersensitivity reaction to allergens of Aspergillus species. Aspergillus fumigatus is the most common agent of the disease. ABPA is rarely presented in the absence of asthma, which is the principle criterion for its diagnosis. In this report, we present the case of a 43-year-old man without a history of bronchial...
متن کاملImmunodiagnosis of ABPA.
For the diagnosis of allergic aspergillosis demonstration of specific immune responses to allergens has been accepted as a significant paradigm. Elevated levels of total IgE and Aspergillus fumigatus specific IgE and IgG antibodies are important criteria for diagnosis of ABPA. Although reference antigens or standardized methods are not available, there are a number of relevant recombinant antig...
متن کاملHrct Findings of Lung Disease
1. linear and reticular opacities; 2. multiple nodules and nodular opacities; 3. parenchymal opacification, including consolidation and ground-glass opacity; 4. air-filled cystic lesions, including lung cysts, cystic lung disease, emphysema, and dilated bronchi (bronchiectasis); and 5. decreased lung attenuation, including mosaic perfusion, mosaic attenuation, and air trapping on expiratory sca...
متن کاملUnderstanding HRCT of the lungs.
327 High-Resolution Computerized Tomography (HRCT) of the lung is now a well-established and widely used technique in the management of respiratory disease. It is the only imaging technique currently available that allows the in vivo visualization of the secondary pulmonary lobule. 1 This unique ability has enabled HRCT to revolutionize not only the diagnosis, but also the understanding of inte...
متن کاملAn Alternate Method of Classifying Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis Based on High-Attenuation Mucus
BACKGROUND AND AIM Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is classified radiologically based on the findings of central bronchiectasis (CB) and other radiologic features (ORF). However, the long-term clinical significance of these classifications remains unknown. We hypothesized that the immunological activity and outcomes of ABPA could be predicted on HRCT chest finding of high-attenua...
