Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis and Related Allergic Syndromes

open access: yesSeminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2011
While allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is well recognized as a fungal complication of asthma, severe asthma with fungal sensitization (SAFS) is not.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1984
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) complicates asthma and cystic fibrosis. The survival factors in Aspergillus fumigatus that support saprophytic growth in bronchial mucus are not understood. Prednisone remains the most definitive treatment but need not be administered indefinitely.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2012
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is caused by an exaggerated T(H)2 response to the ubiquitous mold Aspergillus fumigatus. ABPA develops in a small fraction of patients with cystic fibrosis and asthma, suggesting that intrinsic host defects play a major role in disease susceptibility.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Chest, 2009
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immunologic pulmonary disorder caused by hypersensitivity to Aspergillus fumigatus. Clinically, a patient presents with chronic asthma, recurrent pulmonary infiltrates, and bronchiectasis. The population prevalence of ABPA is not clearly known, but the prevalence in asthma clinics is reported to be ...

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

CHEST Journal, 1985
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) occurs as a complication of asthma. It presents as an infiltrative pulmonary disorder with respiratory and systemic symptoms, eosinophilia, elevated total serum IgE, and skin sensitizing, as well as precipitating antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus. Sputum cultures are not always positive for the organism.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2022
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a complex allergic disorder caused by immune reactions against Aspergillus fumigatus. ABPA most commonly complicates the course of patients with poorly controlled asthma. Patients commonly present with uncontrolled asthma, fleeting pulmonary opacities, and bronchiectasis.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Annual Review of Medicine, 1999
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.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2010
Abstract 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

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2006
Allergic 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.
