Description

An ABPA profile refers to the comprehensive assessment of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA), a complex allergic lung disorder caused by a hypersensitivity to the Aspergillus fumigatus fungus. The profile includes the identification of clinical symptoms like chronic cough and wheezing, assessment of fungal markers (like IgE levels and skin tests), and radiological findings such as pulmonary infiltrates. This profile helps in diagnosing ABPA, monitoring its course, and managing the condition, which primarily affects people with asthma and cystic fibrosis.
