Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in patients with cystic fibrosis

Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 2017
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a pulmonary disorder that often occurs in patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis (CF) and is characterized by a hypersensitivity response to the allergens of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. In patients

[Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis caused by Schizophyllum commune].

Nihon Kyobu Shikkan Gakkai zasshi, 1996
In December 1989, a 72-year-old woman was hospitalized with atelectasis in the left lower lobe. The atelectasis resolved after bronchoscopic removal of impacted mucous plugs. Histopathological examination showed pulmonary mycosis. Microscopy suggested that a species of Aspergillus was responsible, but no definite diagnosis was made.

Infrared Spectroscopy as a Promising Tool for Diagnosing and Typing Human Pathogenic Fungi

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are increasingly recognised as a global health challenge, responsible for millions of cases annually and substantial mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Yet, the diagnosis of these infections remains notoriously difficult, often delayed by slow culture‐based methods or hindered by the high cost and ...

Fungal Load and Composition in Residential Air Conditioners Recontaminated 1 Year After Cleaning

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background and Objective Allergic fungal airway diseases caused by environmental fungal exposure are often difficult to manage with medical therapy alone. We performed a pilot study to investigate fungal load and diversity recontaminating ductless minisplit air conditioners (ACs) within 1 year of high‐pressure washing.

Identification and Distribution of Potentially Azole‐Resistant Airborne Fungi in Outdoor Environments of the Basque Country

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
Air samples collected at three areas in each province of the Basque Country (Spain) were incubated at 25°C and 37°C for Sabouraud plates (SAB) and at 37°C for plates supplemented with voriconazol (SAB‐VCZ). The potentially resistant isolates from SAB‐VCZ plates were identified and their abundance and diversity were determined.

Fungal‐Driven Airways Dis‐Immunity From Asthma to Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis: Dissecting Similarities and Differences. An EAACI Task Force Report

Allergy, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 3274-3289, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Severe asthma and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) do not rarely coexist and share several similarities in terms of pathobiological background, together with overlapping clinical manifestations, misleading the correct diagnosis. Within that scenario, severe asthma with fungal sensitization (SAFS) further complicates the correct ...

Clinical Characteristics of Difficult‐To‐Treat Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis and Its Prediction Score

Allergy, Volume 80, Issue 9, Page 2531-2540, September 2025.
A retrospective cohort of newly diagnosed treatment‐naive patients with ABPA in Japan who were followed up for up to 3 years after the primary diagnosis was analyzed to explore the clinical remission rate and clinical characteristics of ABPA resistant to standard treatment or prone to exacerbation during/after treatment.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis/Mycosis: An Underdiagnosed Disease

, 2023
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immune-allergic disease of the lung due to a hypersensitivity reaction to antigens of Aspergillus fumigatus after colonization into the airways. Predominantly, it affects patients with bronchial asthma and those having cystic fibrosis (CF).
