Hi, See this thing shouldn't be confusing. If your daughter had a very high level of IGE in blood with high eosinophils then only sputum culture or blood culture will make diagnosis clear like aspergillus fumigators. If she had been done blood allergic testing for aspergillus was positive then one thing is clear that she is having allergic bronchpulmonary aspergilli. Now bronchoscopy is an invasive procedure and carries more risk during operation and there are other safer investigations should be tried first like chest X-ray or CT thorax. Bronchoscopy can be done as a last option and mainly to rule out any obstructive disease or bronchiectasis or any tumor or foreign body. I think this all will make u clear to understand.
