Prevalence of specific immunoglobulin E and G against Aspergillus fumigatus in patients with asthma

摘要

Background and Purpose: Aspergillus fumigatus as a ubiquitous fungus can be found in the respiratory tract of the asthmatic and healthy people. The inhalation of Aspergillus spores leads to an immune response in individuals with asthma and results in the aggravation of the clinical symptoms. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of specific immunoglobulin E and G> (IgE and IgG) against A.fumigatus in asthmatic patients.
