Structural lung disease following allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis complicating pediatric cystic fibrosis

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) complicating cystic fibrosis (CF) is frequently associated with significant structural lung damage as assessed by computed tomography (CT) scanning.Using a validated CF scoring system (structural lung disease [SLD] score) we examined the degree of structural lung disease in a group of 25 children with CF who had received steroid therapy for ABPA (CF-ABPA) and compared our findings to a matched group...
