- The presence of Aspergillus fumigatus in asthmatic airways is not clearly related to clinical disease severityAbstract Background It is suggested that airway fungi, in particular Aspergillus may impinge on clinical phenotype in asthma. Indeed the term severe asthma with fungal sensitisation (SAFS) has been coined. We aimed to ascertain whether the presence of fungi, in particular Aspergillus fumigatus, in the airway correlated with asthma severity and control. Furthermore, we aimed to determine if traditional markers of Aspergillus sensitisation rela
