The disease clinically manifests with poorly controlled asthma, hemoptysis, systemic manifestations like fever, anorexia and weight loss, fleeting pulmonary opacities and bronchiectasis. The natural course of the disease is characterized by repeated episodes of exacerbations. Almost 30-40% of the patients require prolonged therapy, which currently consists of corticosteroids and anti-fungal azoles; both these agents have significant adverse reactions. Amphotericin B administered via the inhaled route can achieve a high concentration in the small airways with minimal systemic side-effects. Nebulized amphotericin B has been used in the management of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. The aim of this review is to study the utility of inhaled amphotericin in ABPA.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/0022-3859.128806","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,13]],"date-time":"2014-03-13T08:11:44Z","timestamp":1394698304000},"page":"41-45","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Role of inhaled amphotericin in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"IS","family":"Sehgal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, Punjab and Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, Punjab and Haryana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20250514","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"805","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.08-2586","article-title":"Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis","volume":"135","author":"Agarwal","year":"2009","journal-title":"Chest"},{"key":"R2-20250514","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"850","DOI":"10.1111\/cea.12141","article-title":"ABPA Complicating Asthma ISHAM Working Group.
