Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a pulmonary disease with small prevalence. Exposure to aspergillus mold causes immunologic hypersensitivity and may cause ranges of symptoms from minimal to detrimental outcomes. Diagnosing and treating the disease before the development of bronchiectasis may save the patient from poor outcomes. This report presents a case of recurrent ABPA without any symptom of asthma, which impeded the correct diagnosis even after numerous hospitalizations.
变应性支气管肺曲霉病(ABPA)是一种发病率较低的肺部疾病。接触曲霉菌可引起免疫超敏反应,并可能导致从轻微到严重的一系列症状。在支气管扩张症发生之前诊断和治疗该疾病可使患者避免不良后果。本报告介绍了一例复发性ABPA病例,该患者没有任何哮喘症状,即使经过多次住院治疗仍妨碍了正确诊断。
