Objective: To evaluate the effect of sensitization to Aspergillus spp. the severity and level of
control of asthma. Materials and methods: 275 patients with allergic asthma were examined. The levels of
total IgE and specific IgE to aeroallergens were determined in the blood serum by the enzyme immunoassay
method. Anamnesis, objective examination, and spirometry data were analyzed to assess the reversibility of
the obstruction. The Russian-language version of the questionnaire was used: the Asthma Control Test (Asthma
Control Test) The data obtained were processed using the Statistica 10 software system. Results: In patients
with asthma with sensitization to Aspergillus spp. the course of the disease was uncontrolled, there were
low indicators of external respiratory function, a greater number of exacerbations, a higher need for drugs
for basic therapy than in the group of patients with asthma without sensitization to Aspergillus spp. (p
