Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a condition that most often occurs in patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by the combination of clinical, radiographic, and immunologic criteria as there is not individual test to establish the diagnosis. We describe the case of a 64-year-old male with a prior medical history of moderate persistent asthma who presented with worsening cough and was found to have IgE positive for with findings of diffuse bilateral pulmonary calcifications on HRCT.
变应性支气管肺曲霉病(ABPA)是一种最常发生于哮喘或囊性纤维化患者的疾病。由于没有单一的检测方法来确诊,诊断通常通过临床、影像学和免疫学标准相结合来确定。我们描述了一名64岁男性的病例,他有中度持续性哮喘病史,因咳嗽加重就诊,发现IgE阳性,高分辨率CT显示双侧肺部弥漫性钙化。
