Sera from 43 cases of aspergillosis, 73 cases of other bronchopulmonary diseases, and 50 healthy persons were examined for the presence of antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay proved to be more efficacious than the immunodiffusion test and counterimmunoelectrophoresis in the cases of allergic bronchopulmonary and invasive aspergillosis.
