ABPA (Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis) Hub

ABPA is an allergic reaction in the lungs caused by the immune system over-responding to Aspergillus fungus.

This hub brings together the key topics that patients ask about most often, including IgE, eosinophils, mucus plugging, flare-ups, steroids and biologics. The articles below are specifically about ABPA; use the topic links to explore particular aspects of ABPA and related subjects.
