Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immunologically mediated disease resulting from a hypersensitivity reaction to . ABPA is identified by bronchial asthma, peripheral eosinophilia, high levels of serum immunoglobulin E, pulmonary infiltration, mucoid impaction, and central bronchiectasis. Diagnosing ABPA is important to consider since there are treatment options that are readily available and response to therapy yields positive results. We describe a case of ABPA present in Trinidad, West Indies, which was not described previously in the literature.
变应性支气管肺曲霉病（ABPA）是一种由对……的超敏反应引起的免疫介导性疾病。ABPA的诊断依据为支气管哮喘、外周血嗜酸性粒细胞增多、血清免疫球蛋白E水平升高、肺部浸润、黏液嵌塞和中心性支气管扩张。由于有现成的治疗方案且治疗反应产生阳性结果，因此考虑诊断ABPA很重要。我们描述了一例在西印度群岛特立尼达出现的ABPA病例，该病例此前未见文献报道。
