Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is a lung disease occurring in patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis, triggered by a hypersensitivity reaction to the presence of Aspergillus fumigatus in the airways. We report herein the case of a patient presenting a clinical profile suggestive of asthma and meeting the clinical, laboratory testing and radiological criteria for a diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. The importance of such findings is that early diagnosis can reduce the risk of respiratory exacerbations and fibrosis.
变应性支气管肺曲霉病是一种发生于哮喘或囊性纤维化患者的肺部疾病,由气道中烟曲霉的存在引发的超敏反应所致。我们在此报告一例患者,其临床表现提示哮喘,并符合变应性支气管肺曲霉病的临床、实验室检查及影像学诊断标准。这些发现的重要性在于早期诊断可降低呼吸加重和纤维化的风险。
