Discussion ABPA can be seen in as high as 2.5% of the persistent asthma population and
2% to 15% of the CF population. Given its high prevalence in a common patient population
seen in allergist offices, this diagnosis should be considered in patients with pulmonary
eosinophilia/tenacious mucous plugging, infiltrates on chest x-ray, and positive
skin/serologic testing.
