Since the first description of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in the 1950s there have been numerous studies that have shed light on the characteristics and immunopathogenesis of this disease. The increased knowledge and awareness have resulted in earlier diagnosis and treatment of patients with this condition. This article aims to provide a summary and updates on ABPA by reviewing the results of recent studies on this disease with a focus on articles published within the last 5 years. A systematic search of PubMed/Medline with keywords of ABPA or allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis was performed. All selected articles were reviewed with a focus on findings of articles published from December 2006 to December 2011. The relevant findings are summarized in this paper.
自 20 世纪 50 年代首次描述变应性支气管肺曲霉病(ABPA)以来,已有大量研究阐明了该病的特征和免疫发病机制。相关知识的增加和认识的提高使得此类患者能够得到更早的诊断和治疗。本文旨在通过回顾近年来有关 ABPA 的研究结果,对 ABPA 进行总结和更新,重点关注 2006 年 12 月至 2011 年 12 月期间发表的文章。使用 ABPA 或变应性支气管肺曲霉病的关键词对 PubMed/Medline 进行系统检索。重点回顾并总结 2006 年 12 月至 2011 年 12 月期间发表的文章的研究结果。
