ABSTRACT
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis(ABPA) is a syndrome seen in patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis. It is characterized by chronic cololinization of the airways with a ubiquitous fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus. Clinically, it is a syndrome characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing, mucus production, pulmonary infiltrates, and elevated levels of serum IgE. ABPA patients are also accompanied with bronchiectasis in 89% and observed in 10% of cystic fibrosis that show the features of end-stage lung pattern. There are few reports of ABPA associated with bullae. We will report here a case of ABPA developing in an old cicartrical and bullous lesion of a lung.
