Presentation
Abstract In a series of 65 patients with asthma with pulmonary eosinophilia 54 were adequately investigated for allergic aspergillosis and this was present in 32 (59%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Asthma with pulmonary eosinophilia was found to carry a relatively poor prognosis in terms of permanent symptoms, impairment of pulmonary function and residual radiographic abnormality. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
To prevent recurrent pulmonary infiltrates it is probably necessary to give prednisolone in a daily dosage of at least 10 mg for an indefinite period. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
