Asthma is a common medical problem in Pakistan. Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA), an immune mediated disease, is an unusual complication of bronchial asthma which can result in bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, respiratory failure and death. Early diagnosis is important so that with proper therapy permanent lung damage can be prevented. First described in 1952, ABPA was thought ...

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), which requires a set of criteria for diagnosis, occurs in atopic individuals, predominantly asthmatics. Oral corticosteroids are the cornerstone for the management of the disease. Allergic Aspergillus sinusitis (AAS), clinico-pathologically similar to ABPA, is also diagnosed with a set of criteria including demonstration of fungal elements in sinu...

Background. Systemic steroids and adjunctive antifungal therapy are the cornerstone in treating allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in the context of CF. Aim. Evaluate the use of inhaled amphotericin B (iAMB) as antifungal agent in this context. Methods. Report of 7 CF patients with recurrent or difficult to treat ABPA and failure to taper systemic corticosteroids treated with AMB de...

A 63-year-old man with a history of pulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis and asthma was admitted to our hospital due to wheezing and coughing in the early morning. Chest radiography and computed tomography revealed a fungal ball in a thick-walled cavity in the right upper lobe, and consolidation with high-attenuation mucus in the left lower lobe (Picture 1, 2). In addition to Aspergillus fumiga...

INTRODUCTION Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a T-helper cell 2 (Th2) mediated hypersensitive lung disorder in response to Aspergillus that usually affects asthmatic and cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. ABPA rarely presents as lung collapse and such kind of presentation is very rare in non asthmatic patients. We are presenting a series of three cases in which ABPA presented as lo...

Salivary amylase binds specifically to a number of oral streptococcal species. This interaction may play an important role in dental plaque formation. Recently, a 585-bp gene was cloned and sequenced from Streptococcus gordonii Challis encoding a 20.5-kDa amylase-binding protein (AbpA). The goal of this study was to determine if related genes are present in other species of oral streptococci. B...

OBJECTIVES Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a common complication in patients with cystic fibrosis. This cross-sectional study was planned to determine the prevalence and risk factors for ABPA in Indian children with cystic fibrosis. METHODS Clinical evaluation, spirometry, chest radiograph, sputum, total IgE, specific IgE for Aspergillus fumigatus, IgG precipitins and skin p...

In orderto determine the incidence ofallergic bronchopulmonary aspei llosis (ABPA) in patients with cyslic fibrosis (CF), we reviewed the records of 236 patients followed up at the Duke CF Center. Sixty patients (25 percent) had colonies ofAspergiliusjismigatus. Thesepafients were older and had more severe disease as assessed by lower Shwachman-Kulczycld (S-K) scores than the patients who did n...

Allelic variation within the mouse androgen-binding protein (ABP) alpha subunit gene (Abpa) has been suggested to promote assortative mating and thus prezygotic isolation. This is consistent with the elevated evolutionary rates observed for the Abpa gene, and the Abpb and Abpg genes whose products (ABPbeta and ABPgamma) form heterodimers with ABPalpha. We have investigated the mouse sequence th...

BACKGROUND The serum level of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a marker of malignant disease but can also be increased in benign diseases. Patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) have bronchial asthma showing a wide variety of radiological findings. We measured serum CEA levels in patients with ABPA and evaluated the relationships of serum CEA levels with peripheral blood ...
