Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis with coexistent aspergilloma: a long-term followup.
Two patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) who developed aspergillomas, a rare combination, are presented. Hypertropic osteoarthropathy was a unique feature in one patient. Treatment with prednisolone resulted in striking improvement in both patients. Followup of over 30 months in Patient 1 and 18 months in Patient 2 did not show any dissemination of disease.
