Fungal Sensitization and the Manifestation of Asthmatic Features in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Abstract
Objective Fungal sensitization is known to be prevalent in COPD and it is recognized as a risk factor for severe asthma. However, its relationship to the development of asthmatic features in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear. Because the diagnostic criteria for asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) are not standardized, we focused on the specific asthmatic features that form the diagnostic basis of ACO, namely, blood eosinophilia and recurrent wheezing, to clarify how fungal sensitization contributes to the manifestation of COPD.
