Background The diagnostic accuracy of immunoassays versus immunoprecipitation methods for detecting A.fumigatus‐specific IgG in patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) complicating asthma remains unclear. Methods We performed a systematic review to identify studies describing bo...
