Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2006Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is an uncommon but serious respiratory condition characterized by chronic airway inflammation and airway damage resulting from persistent colonization by and sensitization to the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. The immunopathogenesis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis involves several pathways.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis
Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2010Abstract Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a complex clinical entity that results from an allergic immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus, most often occurring in a patient with asthma or cystic fibrosis. Sensitization to aspergillus in the allergic host leads to activation of T helper 2 lymphocytes, which play a key

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in a child
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1970The syndrome of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is exceedingly rare in the United States. We have studied a 9-year-old child who fulfills all of the clinical and laboratory criteria of this syndrome, and who is believed to be the first patient in the pediatric age range reported in this country. Clinical and laboratory features include wheezing

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in children
Pediatrics International, 2015AbstractAllergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a disease of the lungs resulting from a hypersensitivity reaction to spores of Aspergillus fumigatus. Here we report the case of a 13‐year‐old girl with ABPA who presented with productive cough, bronchiectasis and decline in lung function, and review the clinical features and treatment for ...

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis
Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology, 2002Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a common complication of cystic fibrosis (CF), occurring in approximately 10% of patients and accompanying/accounting for approximately 10% of pulmonary exacerbations. ABPA pathogenesis is dependent upon impaired clearance and dense respiratory epithelial exposure to A fumigatus (Af) spores with ...

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis in Infants
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1977Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), a serious complication of asthma, is thought to rarely afflict infants. We report three children less than 2 years of age in whom this disorder developed. The major criteria for the diagnosis include: (1) asthma, (2) recurrent pulmonary infiltrations with peripheral eosinophilia, (3) positive aspergillus ...

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in children
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1982Three cases of Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis are reported in the Pediatric age group. All patients had pulmonary infiltrates documented by chest radiographs. Precipitating antibodies against Af. antigen was demonstrated in two patients. All three had Type I and Type III reaction to Af antigen. Central bronchiectasis was seen in two patients.

THERAPY OF ALLERGIC BRONCHOPULMONARY ASPERGILLOSIS
Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 1998The management of ABPA depends on the extent and stage of the disease. Underlying asthma should be controlled with environmental changes, pharmaco- and immunotherapy. Baseline examinations and evaluations of pulmonary function, airway and parenchymal anatomy, and serum total IgE levels are important and should be re-evaluated based on the clinical ...
