Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how often asthmatic patients are sensitized to Aspergillus antigens and to determine the prevalence of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) among them.
- Out of 200 non-smoking asthma patients tested, 5.5% showed positive skin reactions to Aspergillus, with 2.5% meeting the criteria for ABPA, characterized by symptoms like cough and wheeze.
- The findings suggested that ABPA in asthmatic patients is more common than previously thought, with similar symptoms to asthma but longer duration and greater lung function impairment, highlighting the importance of elevated IgE levels and eosinophils in diagnosis.
