Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition that affects multiple organ systems. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a well-recognised problem but other allergic conditions are less well documented in CF.
To characterise the allergic profile of a cohort of children with CF, with a focus on those with ABPA.
A cohort of children with CF were interviewed and retrospective data were collected regarding their allergic histories and other relevant clinical features.
The cohort included 37 children with median age of 9 years (interquartile range: 6-12). There was a history of ≥1 allergic condition(s) in 28/37 children (76%). The most common allergic condition was allergic rhinitis (AR) in 21/37 (57%) and 16 of these 21 children (76%) had another allergic condition. All children with ABPA (8) had another allergic condition. In some children ABPA exacerbations appeared to be seasonal, suggesting possible cross-sensitisation between Aspergillus fumigatus and aeroallergens associated with seasonal AR. Allergic conditions were also common in children with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.
囊性纤维化(CF)是一种影响多个器官系统的遗传疾病。变应性支气管肺曲霉病(ABPA)是一种公认的问题,但 CF 中其他变应性疾病的记录较少。
描述一组 CF 患儿的变应性特征,重点关注 ABPA 患儿。
对一组 CF 患儿进行了访谈,并回顾性收集了有关其过敏史和其他相关临床特征的资料。
该队列包括 37 名中位年龄为 9 岁(四分位距:6-12)的儿童。28/37 名儿童(76%)有≥1 种过敏史。最常见的过敏病是过敏性鼻炎(AR),在 21/37 名儿童中(57%),其中 16 名(76%)有另一种过敏病。所有 ABPA 患儿(8 例)均有另一种过敏病。在一些患儿中,ABPA 加重似乎具有季节性,提示可能存在烟曲霉与季节性 AR 相关的气传过敏原的交叉致敏。铜绿假单胞菌感染的患儿中也常见过敏病。
