However, no study has evaluated fungal sensitisation specifically in bidi smokers. Herein, we evaluate the prevalence of <jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic> sensitisation in bidi smokers. Bidi smokers with and without <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">COPD<\/jats:styled-content> underwent chest radiography, spirometry, <jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic> skin test, <jats:italic>A.\u00a0fumigatus<\/jats:italic> precipitins, <jats:italic>A.\u00a0fumigatus<\/jats:italic>\u2010specific IgE and total IgE. <jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic> sensitisation was defined as the presence of either immediate cutaneous hyperreactivity to <jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic> antigen or raised <jats:italic>A.\u00a0fumigatus<\/jats:italic>\u2010specific IgE level &gt;0.35\u00a0kUA\/L. Bidis were obtained from a subset of cases and controls and cultured for the growth of any fungus. Two hundred subjects with <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">COPD<\/jats:styled-content> and 72 chronic bidi smokers without <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">COPD<\/jats:styled-content> were included in the study (258 men; mean age, 56.8\u00a0years). <jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic> sensitisation was found to be significantly higher in bidi smokers without <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">COPD<\/jats:styled-content> (27.8%) compared to the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">COPD<\/jats:styled-content> cases (16%). Age, <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">COPD<\/jats:styled-content>, lung function, severity of smoking and current smoking were not associated with <jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic> sensitisation, on a multivariate logistic regression analysis. We found a high prevalence of <jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic> sensitisation in bidi\u2010smoking subjects.
