[Analysis of clinical features and allergic status of asthmatic patients with positive serum mycosis-specific IgE].
[allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis]
To
improve
understanding
of
the
clinical
characteristics
and
diagnosis
of
allergic
bronchopulmonary
mycosis
(
ABPM
)
.
We
retrospectively
analyzed
the
clinical
data
,
including
clinical
symptoms
,
laboratory
tests
,
pulmonary
function
tests
and
chest
CT
imaging
of
95
asthmatic
patients
with
positive
serum
mycosis-
specific
IgE
from
January
2010
to
September
2012
in
Zhongshan
Hospital
Affiliated
to
Fudan
University
.
Of
the
95
patients
,
59
cases
met
the
diagnostic
criteria
of
ABPM
.
There
were
34
males
and
25
females
,
with
a
mean
age
of
(
53
±
4
)
years
and
a
duration
of
asthma
for
(
21
±
4
)
years
.
Thirty
-
six
cases
showed
mycosis
hypersensitivity
(
MH
)
.
There
were
10
males
and
26
females
,
with
a
mean
age
of
(
46
±
6
)
years
and
a
duration
of
asthma
for
(
16
±
5
)
years
.

In

Forty

had

in

ABPM
is
common
in
asthmatic
patients
but
has
long
been
underestimated
and
misdiagnosed
.
Efforts
need
to
be
intensified
to
improve
the
awareness
among
clinicians
for
early
diagnosis
and
treatment
of
the
disease
