Of 243 children with bronchial asthma, 107 (44%) were found to have perennial asthma. These were studied to determine the incidence of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Clinical and radiological evaluations, skin tests, precipitin studies with Aspergillus fumigatus antigen and total IgE level estimations were investigated. Four or more of the primary criteria for the disease were found in 35 children.
