Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (known unknown disease, analysis of clinical observation)

Abstract

To show an algorithm for diagnosing this disease and demonstrate the effectiveness of etiological treatment using the case history of a patient with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) against the background of bronchial asthma (BA).

Complaints, anamnesis, physical status, laboratory and instrumental studies of a patient with ABPA are published. Modern literature data on the diagnosis and treatment of ABPA have been analyzed.

The complaints, anamnesis, physical status as well as laboratory and instrumental studies used for a patient with ABPA were analyzed in comparison with world literature data.

1. Primary care physicians are informed insufficiently about the clinical picture of ABPA. 2. Antimycotic therapy with variconazole applied for patients with ABPA against the background of BA leads not only to positive morphological changes in the lungs but also to the relief of BA course.
