Identifying rare diseases using electronic medical records: the example of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether primary care electronic medical records (EMRs) from patients with severe asthma can be used to identify allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) cases.
