The Rosenberg-Patterson Criteria is a clinical calculator used for the diagnosis of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA). This condition is a hypersensitivity reaction to Aspergillus species, primarily affecting patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis. 

The Rosenberg-Patterson Criteria helps clinicians to identify patients with ABPA by considering a range of clinical, radiological, and immunological factors. These include symptoms such as asthma, presence of fleeting pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiographs, immediate skin reactivity to Aspergillus, elevated serum IgE levels, and presence of precipitating antibodies to Aspergillus in serum, among others.

The clinical utility of this calculator is to aid in the diagnosis of ABPA, which can help guide appropriate treatment and management strategies, potentially improving patient outcomes. 

There are no specific exclusion criteria for the use of the Rosenberg-Patterson Criteria. However, it should be noted that this calculator is not intended to replace clinical judgment, and should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools and clinical findings.

# Scoring:
- If score == 6, then ABPA is likely
- If score >= 7, then Diagnostic criteria for ABPA are met
- If true, then Diagnostic criteria for ABPA are not met
- If score == 0, then Please make a selection)
