BACKGROUND Fungal aspergillosis colonization and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) can have a strong impact on the prognosis in cystic fibrosis (CF). We conducted round table discussions involving French experts from pediatric and adult centers caring for patients with CF, microbiologists, radiologists and pharmacists. The aim was to explore the current state of knowledge on: the pathophysiological mechanisms of Aspergillus and other micromycetes infections in CF (such as Scedosporium sp.), and on the clinico-biological diagnosis of ABPA. In perspective, the experts explored the role of imaging in the diagnosis of APBA, specifically CT and MRI; as well as the role of bronchoscopy in the management. We also reviewed the therapeutic management, including different corticosteroid regimens, antifungals and anti-IgE antibodies. CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of ABPA in CF should be based on more standardized biological assays and imaging to optimize treatment and follow-up.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.
