    Author: Zhaoming W, Lockey RF.
    Journal: J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol; 1996; 6(3):144-51. PubMed ID: 8807504.
    Abstract:
    Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) occurs in 1-2% of patients with asthma and in 10% of patients with cystic fibrosis. We introduce the acronym "ARTEPICS" in this review article on ABPA to facilitate its diagnosis: A: Asthma; R: Roentgenographic infiltrates; T: Tests for Aspergillus fumigatus (Af) positive in the skin; E: Eosinophilia; P: Precipitating antibody to Af; I: IgE in serum elevated; C: Central bronchiectasis; and S: Serum specific IgE-Af and IgG-Af elevated (ARTEPICS).
