Mashup Score: 0New aspects of fundamental pathology and environmental control: Important issues in allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis - 3 year(s) ago
We read with interest the paper by Okada et al in a recent issue of J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract.1 This case report of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) suggested the importance of identifying and controlling environmental antigen exposure, but we have some questions.

Mashup Score: 3Biomarkers for the diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in cystic fibrosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis - 3 year(s) ago
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a hypersensitivity reaction to Aspergillus fumigatus and impacts 10% of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). A diagnosis of ABPA is challenging to establish in CF due to overlapping clinical and radiologic features with CF lung disease. Recent studies have identified blood tests, imaging, and other biomarkers that may be useful for diagnosis.

Mashup Score: 0Repeated exacerbation by environmental exposure and spontaneous resolution of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis - 3 year(s) ago
Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) is characterized by type I and type III hypersensitivity to fungi colonized in the eosinophil-rich mucus plugs in the airways.1 Aspergillus spp., especially A. fumigatus, is most frequently isolated from the airways of patients with ABPM, but other fungi such as Penicillium spp. and Schizophyllum commune can cause a similar pathology in the airways.2…

Mashup Score: 0Can We Improve the Criteria for Diagnosis of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis as an Endotype of Asthma? - 3 year(s) ago
Since the initial reports of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) by Hinson et al1 in 1952 in London and then in the United States by Patterson and Golbert2 in 1968 in adults and Slavin et al3 in 1970 in children, the diagnosis has been made by “pattern matching” with a collection of diagnostic criteria. The classical criteria include asthma, usually persistent, but may be in patients…

Mashup Score: 0Which Are the Optimal Criteria for the Diagnosis of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis? A Latent Class Analysis - 3 year(s) ago
The ideal criteria for diagnosing allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) remain unknown because of the lack of a criterion standard. Latent class analysis using a probabilistic modeling technique can circumvent the need for a reference standard.

Mashup Score: 0Light at the End of Tunnel—Managing Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis in Cystic Fibrosis - 4 year(s) ago
For the past 6 decades, medical attention has been focused on the devastating outcomes, limitations, life, and life-expectancy of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is an autosomal disorder resulting from mutations in the regulator gene that codes for the protein that maintains the bodily osmotic balances and mucociliary clearances.1 In patients with CF, this defective encoding disrupts the…

The ideal criteria for diagnosing allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) remains unknown because of the lack of a gold standard. Latent class analysis (LCA) using a probabilistic modeling technique can circumvent the need for a reference standard.
