I'm taking a random poll!
My son is in the process of either being diagnosed with ABPA or ruling it out. At our clinic they don't begin to routinely check IgE levels until age 10 as that's when it is more common to culture aspergillus and/or "develop" ABPA. I asked for a RAST test in June to rule out common allergies and, although he doesn't yet culture aspergillus and wasn't allergic to anything else, his IgE levels were still elevated. Have I lost you yet?
Our nurse said their youngest ABPA patient (at our clinic) was six - my son is 5! So I'm curious, for those of you who have kids that have a dx of ABPA, how old were they when first diagnosed with it?
