ABSTRACT
This study aims to explore the diagnostic value of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) and specific immunoglobulin G (sIgG) of Aspergillus fumigatus in the diagnosis of allergic broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and severe asthma with fungal sensitization (SAFS). A total of 17 ABPA patients and 14 SAFS patients were enrolled. The levels of sIgG [2 294.00 (1 527.00, 14 170.00) U/ml vs. 972.60 (650.90, 1 792.00) U/ml] and sIgE [8.77 (1.64, 16.85) kU/L vs. 1.04 (0.70, 2.05) kU/L] in ABPA patients were significantly higher than those in SAFS patients (P<0.05). Aspergillus fumigatus sIgG was strongly correlated with Aspergillus fumigatus sIgE (rs=0.797, P<0.001) in ABPA patients. When combined with Aspergillus fumigatus sIgG (>1 000.00 U/mL) and Aspergillus fumigatus sIgE (>1.00 kU/L), the sensitivity was 82.3% and specificity 78.6% for the differential diagnosis of ABPA and SAFS. It demonstrates the diagnostic value of Aspergillus fumigatus sIgG and sIgE.
