A range of 6 somatic and culture filtrate antigens of Aspergillus fumigatus were evaluated in a rapid ELISA procedure for anti-A. fumigatus IgG where the component incubation times had been reduced to 10 min. Sera from patients with allergic aspergillosis, patients with suspected allergic aspergillosis, and asthmatic patients with or without A. fumigatus precipitins were tested. For all antigens, levels of anti-A. fumigatus IgG were higher in patients with allergic aspergillosis than in the other 3 groups. Low levels of specific IgG were, however, detected in asthmatic patients who had no precipitins against A. fumigatus. None of the antigen preparations enabled all patients with proven or suspected allergic aspergillosis to be separated from the other 2 groups of asthmatic patients. Positive-negative discrimination in ELISA was achieved by the inclusion of 10 pools of precipitin test-negative sera from the 50 asthmatics without A. fumigatus precipitins. The number of sera that were classed as positive in ELISA ranged from 9 to 15 in the allergic aspergillosis group, depending on the antigen used; in the suspected aspergillosis group, the number of positive reactions ranged from 1 to 8, while in the asthmatics with precipitins, the number ranged from 0 to 2.
