Background: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and Aspergillus fumigatus sensitization (AFS) quite often are observed in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of basophil activation test (BAT) in these manifestations of hypersensitivity reactions. Methods: BAT (CD63 and CD203c) was performed for 56 CF patients (17 ABPA, 24 AFS and 15 non-AFS). A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and a survival analysis were performed. Results: Both markers significantly contributed in ABPA diagnosis (P value b 0.001 for both). Twelve AFS patients fulfilled the criteria for ABPA diagnosis during the follow-up period. The median time to ABPA diagnosis was 9 months for patients whose value...
