What is Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA)?
Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) is a hypersensitivity reaction that occurs in response to the fungus Aspergillus. It primarily affects patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis. ABPA leads to inflammation of the airways and can cause recurrent exacerbations and progressive lung damage if not properly managed.
