High attenuation mucus in bronchi with allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis

Mycoses
AbstractBackgroundHigh‐attenuation mucus (HAM) is a specific manifestation of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) on chest computed tomography (CT).ObjectivesTo compare the diagnostic accuracy of the two definitions of HAM and to clarify the clinical and radiographic characteristics of HAM‐positive and HAM‐negative ABPM.MethodsCT images at the ...

FUNGAL PROFILE IN ALLERGIC BRONCHOPULMONARY MYCOSIS

INDIAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED RESEARCH, 2023
Background: Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) is a clinical syndrome associated with immune sensitivity to various fungi notably Aspergillus spp. that colonize the airways of asthmatics. Early diagnosis and treatment with systemic corticosteroids is the key in preventing the progression of the disease to irreversible lung brosis.

Successful treatment by switching from benralizumab to dupilumab in a patient with allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis caused by Schizophyllum commune

Respiratory Investigation
A 79-year-old female patient with a history of bronchial asthma was diagnosed with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Her symptoms temporarily improved with inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β2-agonist therapy.

A retrospective study of patients with a delayed diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis/allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis

Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 2014
This study was designed to aid health care providers in better understanding the need for earlier recognition of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis/allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPA/ABPM). Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of ABPA/ABPM after evaluation in the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan ...

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Mycosis

, 2014
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a common manifestation in chronic allergic asthma and cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The role of epithelial cell dysfunctions and of the Th2 immune response (“Interleukin-4 (IL-4) hypersensitivity”), seems to be essential for developing an ABPA. Genetic factors associated with the occurrence of ABPA are

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Mycosis due to fungi other than Aspergillus [PDF]

European Annals of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2019
Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) is a clinical syndrome associated with immune sensitivity to various fungi that colonize the airways. Early diagnosis and treatment with systemic corticosteroids is the key in preventing the progression of the disease to irreversible lung fibrosis.

Remarkable response to dupilumab in refractory allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis with a giant mucus plug due to Aspergillus udagawae

Respiratory Investigation
Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) is due to hypersensitivity to fungi, usually Aspergillus fumigatus, that is treated with systemic corticosteroids; it often relapses and causes adverse effects.

Rapidly progressive mucus plugs in allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis

Journal of Asthma
Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) is a chronic airway disease characterized by the presence of fungi that trigger allergic reactions and airway obstruction. Here, we present a unique case of ABPM in which a patient experienced sudden respiratory failure due to mucus plug-induced airway obstruction.

Allergic Fungal Sinusitis Associated with Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis: An Uncommon Sinobronchial Allergic Mycosis

American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy, 2007
Background The identification of allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) is still controversial and much more recent than that of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). Their association has been reported very rarely in the literature. Methods
