Pulmonary Eosinophilia Indicates Onset of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a pulmonary disorder caused by type 2 immune responses to Aspergillus. This pathology usually develops after the onset of bronchial asthma (BA) or cystic fibrosis. Rates differ among countries, but appear to be increasing around the world with the increase of BA.
