I have ABPA. I don’t have asthma, no cough, and no mucus. But I feel a very sharp pain in my lung, and it comes and goes. Also feel sudden breathing changes, like fluctuation in effort or depth. I’m worried this could be early colonization by Aspergillus. Can I ask my doctor for a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)? Will it detect fungal colonization and be helpful? If yes, what does BAL usually cost in India?
