Abstract
All patients with prolonged cough with a history of atopy, even if not clinically asthmatic, should be evaluated for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA); also, we suspect that we may miss the early diagnosis of ABPA if bronchial asthma is considered as a major criteria for the diagnosis of ABPA.
