1. Análogos de Asp f 1 (alfa-sarcina, mitogilina e restrictocina) no diagnóstico e estadiamento da aspergilose broncopulmonar alérgica / Analogs of Asp f 1 (mitogillin, alfa-sarcin and restrictocin) on the diagnosis and stage assessment of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis
A Aspergilose Broncopulmonar alérgica (ABPA) é uma doença complexa,desencadeada por uma reação de hipersensibilidade ao Aspergillus fumigatus, que apresenta vários estágios, sendo que no estágio mais grave, os pacientes apresentam bronquiectasias. O diagnóstico da doença é difícil e o maior problema é a falta de antígenos padronizados necessár

2. Eosinofilia e IgE sÃrica total na alergia respiratÃria e parasitose Intestinal
Eosinophilia is found in many cases of atopy, and is considered essential to the perpetuation of the pathologic process that characterizes allergic asthma and rhinitis. However, eosinophilia can also exist in other diseases as leukemia, Wiskot-Aldrich Syndrome, hypersensitivity to drugs and intestinal parasitosis. In general, in allergic diseases, besides eo

3. Computed tomographic scanning of the lung in patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and in asthmatic patients with a positive skin test to Aspergillus fumigatus.
BACKGROUND--Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is a disease of asthmatic patients which may follow a protracted course and result in chronic lung damage such as central bronchiectasis. In asthma uncomplicated by allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, in particular in asthmatic patients with immediate hypersensitivity type skin reactions to Aspergillus

4. Rise in total IgE as an indicator of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND--Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is a serious complication of cystic fibrosis and may be difficult to diagnose. The aim of this study was to define the usefulness of measuring total IgE compared with other major criteria in the diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in children with cystic fibrosis. METHODS--A retrospective a

5. Pulmonary eosinophilia with and without allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.
Sixty five patients with pulmonary eosinophilia attending one respiratory unit were reviewed. All had fleeting radiographic abnormalities and peripheral blood eosinophil counts greater than 500 x 10(6)/l. Eighteen had a single episode and 47 recurrent episodes during a median follow up period of 14 years. Thirty three patients had allergic bronchopulmonary a

6. Allergic bronchopulmonary stemphyliosis.
A patient is described in whom a clinical picture resembling allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis was found to be caused by hypersensitivity to the fungus Stemphylium lanuginosum. Bronchopulmonary reactions to antigens other than Aspergillus may be more frequent than is currently believed.

7. Controlled trial of natamycin in the treatment of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis often requires treatment with oral corticosteroids to control the host response to Aspergillus fumigatus. In a double blind study 25 patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis taking maintenance oral corticosteroids were randomly allocated to receive 5 mg natamycin or placebo by nebuliser twice daily for one

8. Efficacy of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in serodiagnosis of aspergillosis.
Sera from 43 cases of aspergillosis, 73 cases of other bronchopulmonary diseases, and 50 healthy persons were examined for the presence of antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay proved to be more efficacious than the immunodiffusion test and counterimmunoelectrophoresis in the cases of allergic bronchopulmonary and invasive as

10. Allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease without clinical asthma.
During a retrospective survey of patients with pulmonary shadows and blood eosinophilia between the years 1965 and 1980, 42 patients were found with allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease. Eleven of these had no clinical evidence of asthma. Three of these 11 had hypersensitivity to fungi other than Aspergillus sp. In the absence of asthma there was some di

11. Treatment of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis with observations on the use of natamycin
The problems of treatment in bronchopulmonary aspergillosis are discussed and illustrated by 11 case reports—four with aspergilloma, six with allergic aspergillosis, and two with probable allergic aspergillosis. A simple and effective treatment of aspergilloma, by local surgical evacuation of the cavity followed by irrigation with natamycin (Pimaricin), is

12. Studies in chronic allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. 3. Immunological findings.
Precipitin tests by two different methods, double-diffusion (DD) and counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE), and measurements of total and specific IgE against Aspergillus fumigatus were made in 50 patients with chronic allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and in three control groups--atopics with a positive immediate prick test to A. fumigatus but no evidenc
