A Cross-sectional Study of Skin Prick Test to Aspergillus Antigen in Asthmatic Patients and Their Correlation with Disease Severity Using Spirometry

Key Points

• To evaluate the prevalence of Aspergillus sensitization in asthmatic patients and its relationship with lung function.
• Conducted a cross-sectional study
• Utilized skin prick tests for detection of Aspergillus sensitization
• Assessed lung function using spirometry
• High prevalence of Aspergillus sensitization found among asthmatic patients
• Significant association between sensitization and reduced lung function indicated
• SPTs may aid in early identification of sensitization for better asthma management
