    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Allergy and Immunology

    Background:

    • Reported cases of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) have increased in the United States since 1968.
    • This rise is attributed to enhanced physician awareness and refined diagnostic criteria.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the key aspects of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.
    • To provide a comprehensive overview for clinicians and researchers.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and synthesis of existing data on ABPA.
    • Analysis of diagnostic criteria, clinical stages, radiographic and pathological findings.
    • Examination of laboratory findings, pathogenetic mechanisms, and differential diagnoses.
    • Review of pulmonary function changes and treatment strategies.

    Main Results:

    • The review details eight diagnostic criteria and five clinical stages of ABPA.
    • Common radiographic and pathological findings are presented.
    • Laboratory findings, pathogenetic mechanisms, and differential diagnoses are discussed.
    • Acute and chronic pulmonary function changes are outlined, emphasizing corticosteroid therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased awareness and improved diagnostics have led to a rise in reported ABPA cases.
    • Corticosteroid therapy is crucial for managing exacerbations and preventing lung damage in ABPA patients.
