Ma. Miller et al., ALLERGIC BRONCHOPULMONARY MYCOSIS CAUSED BY PSEUDALLESCHERIA-BOYDII, The American review of respiratory disease, 148(3), 1993, pp. 810-812
Two cases of allergic bronchopulmonary pseudallescheriosis (ABPP) are
described. These are the first cases of this allergic bronchopulmonary
mycosis (ABPM) reported in which the clinical and serologic criteria
are described. The first case was in a patient with mild asthma, and i
t resolved spontaneously after expectoration of a mucous plug. The sec
ond was in a patient with recurrent allergic bronchopulmonary aspergil
losis with an exacerbation of ABPM caused by Pseudallescheria boydii.
The total serum IgE, IgG, and IgE antibodies against P. boydii and the
clinical picture well define ABPR This diagnosis may be important to
recognize in order to prevent a progression of the patient's lung dise
ase.
