The presence of IgG antibodies (Abs) to Aspergillus fumigatus (Af) is a crucial diagnostic criterion for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). Although precipitation is traditionally used to document IgG Abs, anti-Af serum IgG levels can also be measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). However, there are insufficient data on the optimal cut-offs to assess diagnostic performance of the EIA method. This study aimed to determine cut-off levels of IgG binding crude Af extracts or recombinant Asp f 1 (by ImmunoCAP®) and to compare their efficacy for ABPA diagnosis with Af-precipitating Abs. The age distribution of levels of IgG to crude extracts of Af (Af-IgG) and recombinant Asp f 1 (Asp f 1-IgG) was established using sera from 694 healthy controls (HC). Receiver operating characteristic analysis for Af-IgG and Asp f 1-IgG levels for the purpose of ABPA diagnosis was performed in 306 Af-sensitized asthma patients (including 49 ABPA), and cut-offs were determined. An age-dependent decline in the levels of Af-IgG was observed in HC. Thus, cut-offs for Af-IgG levels were determined separately by age as 60 mg/L for patients aged <55 years, and 45 mg/L for those aged ≥55 years. For Asp f 1-IgG, 6.6 mg/L was set as the cut-off regardless of age. Although such IgG testing by EIA allowed a sufficiently good diagnostic performance, Af-precipitating Abs had better diagnostic applicability for ABPA. We determined cut-offs for Af-IgG and Asp f 1-IgG measured by EIA, which can be useful in clinical settings where precipitating Abs are unavailable.
