Overview
Aspergillus species are ubiquitous environmental molds that grow on organic matter and aerosolize conidia. In immunocompetent individuals with healthy lungs, inhaled conidia are eliminated by the neutrophils and macrophages of the innate immune system and do not lead to disease. Illness only develops in a small proportion of patients with altered immune systems or underlying lung pathology.
Non-invasive forms of Aspergillus-induced lung disease include Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA), Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA) and Subacute Invasive Aspergillosis (SAIA). In severely immunocompromised individuals, Aspergillus infection of the respiratory system can spread to other organs in a condition referred to as Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA).

Negative - No significant level of A. fumigatus IgG antibody detected.
Equivocal - Questionable presence of A. fumigatus IgG antibody.
Positive - A. fumigatus IgG antibody detected. A positive result confirms determination of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA).
