Abstract

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) is an underdiagnosed respiratory condition, which very often masquerades as Bronchial Asthma and results in a delay in identification and subsequent treatment. It is one of the component of the spectrum of aspergillosis which is a group of diseases caused by the fungi Aspergillus fumigatus. [1] It occurs due to an exaggerated response of the immune system to the fungi. It has a wide variety of presentations, most commonly occurring as fleeting opacities on chest x rays. We present an interesting case of ABPA having a unique presentation.
