Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1985Allergic 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
Respiration, 2009Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is not a common condition, even though asthma due to sensitization to Aspergillus antigen is very common in many countries because of the ubiquitous distribution of the fungus itself. During the course of 14 years, the Mycology Department of the V. P.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2012Allergic 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
Annual Review of Medicine, 1999Allergic 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, 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
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
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 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
