Allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease (ABPFD) usually manifests in asthmatics as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. In a few instances other fungi have been implicated. Serological testing in Western Australia between 1979 and 1986 revealed precipitins to Bipolaris and Curvularia species in 40 of 503 patients tested. Eight of these were patients with ABPFD due to Bipolaris and/or Curvularia and are reported here. Geographical location appeared to be significant as seven of eight of those with ABPFD (and at least 18 of 40 with positive serology) were living in the more remote and sub-tropical northern part of the state. ABPFD due to fungi other than Aspergillus species may be more common than previously recognised and further epidemiological assessment is warranted.
变应性支气管肺真菌病(ABPFD)在哮喘患者中通常表现为变应性支气管肺曲霉病。在少数情况下,其他真菌也与之相关。1979年至1986年在西澳大利亚进行的血清学检测显示,在503名接受检测的患者中,有40人对双极霉属和弯孢霉属真菌产生沉淀素。其中8例为双极霉属和/或弯孢霉属所致的ABPFD患者,在此报告。地理位置似乎很重要,因为8例ABPFD患者中有7例(40例血清学阳性患者中至少18例)生活在该州更偏远的亚热带北部地区。由曲霉属以外的真菌引起的ABPFD可能比以前认为的更常见,因此有必要进行进一步的流行病学评估。
