Five patients (4 men and 1 woman) afflicted with bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) were examined. The main criteria for the diagnosis were a high level of the total IgE, demonstration of specific IgE to Aspergillus fumigatus, positive skin tests with antigens of moldy fungi. All the 4 patients with active process, not given corticosteroids, manifested eosinophilia of the sputum and peripheral blood. The clinical picture of bronchial asthma was recorded in 2 patients. It is desirable that all the patients with protracted and relapsing infiltrative processes in the lungs running with sputum and blood eosinophilia undergo examinations for the presence of ABPA.
