Out of 243 children with bronchial asthma, 107 children (44%) were found to have perennial asthma. These children were studied to determine the incidence of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in Indian children. Clinical and radiologic evaluations, skin testing, and precipitin studies with Aspergillus fumigatus antigen, and total IgE level estimations were done. Fifteen percent of children had four or more of the criteria, and were considered to have ABPA.
