Abstract

The IF titres of IgG antibodies to hyphal antigen preparations of 6 isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus were compared with the titres to germling antigen preparations of the same isolates. Titres varied according the antigen used and the method of preparation. No single isolate or method of antigen preparation enabled a group of 15 patients with aspergillosis to be separated from a group of asthmatic subjects or a group of patients with other fungal infections, but significantly higher means IF titres were obtained for the group of patients with aspergillosis.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
