Background Aspergillus fumigatus‐specific IgG estimation is crucial for diagnosing allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). A point‐of‐care LDBio immunochromatographic lateral flow assay (LFA) had 0%–90% sensitivity to detect IgG/IgM antibodies against A. fumigatus. Objective To assess the ac...
