title: Fibrotic stage of allergic bronchopulmonary candidiasis.
abstract: Since its first description in 1952, ABPA has been recognized with increasing frequency. More recently fungi other than Aspergillus fumigatus, in particular Candida albicans, have been implicated in a similar disease process. The following case report illustrates the possibility of finding a fibrotic stage 5 ABPM caused by C albicans.
