ABSTRACT
Definitive diagnosis of pulmonary aspergillosis is difficult to establish. Thus, confirmative evidence of active fungal aggression is imperative. In this study, an immunodiffusion test was carried out on 36 cases of pulmonary aspergillosis and two groups of subjects comprising 133 patients with non-fungal diseases and 134 healthy volunteers as controls. The test was positive in 92.3% of the patients with mycetoma, in 50% of the patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, and in 25% of the patients with invasive aspergillosis. Results were negative in all subjects in the two control groups. The findings indicate the efficacy of the test under study for supporting the diagnosis of pulmonary aspergillosis.
