Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, a hitherto uncommon but potentially crippling complication of asthma, occurs at an unknown prevalence in the United States. Using both modern serologic criteria complete with a history of asthma and radiologic findings, we were able to make the diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in 28 of 100 consecutive patients with asthma who had immediate cutaneous reactivity to Aspergillus fumigatus and who were seen in an outpatient setting. Problems associated with use of less comprehensive criteria for this diagnosis are discussed.
变应性支气管肺曲霉病是哮喘一种迄今并不常见但可能导致残疾的并发症，其在美国的患病率尚不清楚。我们运用包含哮喘病史和放射学检查结果的现代血清学标准，在连续就诊的100例哮喘患者中，诊断出28例变应性支气管肺曲霉病，这些患者对烟曲霉有速发型皮肤反应，且均为门诊患者。本文讨论了使用不太全面的诊断标准所带来的问题。
