INTRODUCTION: There are no precise data about the effect of Aspergillus infection on lung function other than allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in patients with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Here, we aimed to determine clinical phenotypes caused by Aspergillus spp. using laboratory and immunologic parameters and to compare Aspergillus phenotypes in terms of pulmonary function tests (PFT) prospectively.
METHODS: Twenty-three pwCF who had Aspergillus isolation from respiratory cultures in the last year (case group) and 20 pwCF without Aspergillus isolation in sputum (control group) were included. Aspergillus immunoglobulin (Ig)-G, Aspergillus IgE, Aspergillus polymerase chain reaction (PCR), galactomannan, total IgE from blood samples, and Aspergillus PCR and galactomannan from sputum, and skin prick test reactivity to Aspergillus antigen were used to distinguish different Aspergillus phenotypes. Pulmonary functions and frequency of pulmonary exacerbations were evaluated during a 1-year follow-up.
RESULTS: Of 23 pwCF, 11 (47.8%) had Aspergillus colonization, nine (39.1%) had Aspergillus bronchitis, and three (13%) had ABPA. Aspergillus infection was not associated with worse z-scores of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) (p = 0.612), forced vital capacity (p = 0.939), and the median FEV 1% decline (0.0%/year vs. -4.7%/year, p = 0.626). The frequency of pulmonary exacerbations in the Aspergillus infected and noninfected groups was similar.
CONCLUSION: Although Aspergillus spp. Isolation in pwCF was not associated with decreased lung function, a further decline was seen in the ABPA subgroup, and frequent pulmonary exacerbations during the 1-year follow-up.
