Abstract
|
|
|
|
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis(ABPA) is characterized by asthma and hypersensivity reaction to Aspergillus fumigatus. The typical symtoms of ABPA are fleeting pulmonary infiltrates, eosinophilia, wheezing, fever and brownish sputum. Some exacerbations of ABPA mimic bacterial pneumonia, pulmonary tuberculosis with pulmonary infiltrates, mucopurulent sputum and fever. Out case was misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis and recurrent pneumonia previously, so treated by antituberculous drugs and antibiotics. We report a case of ABPA mimicking pulmonary tuberculosis.
