[Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis with hay dust-induced alveolitis and bronchial asthma].
A 55-year-old female farmer had all the clinical, biochemical and radiological signs diagnostic of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Remarkably she also had symptoms of farmer's lung and exogenous allergic bronchial asthma with specific types I and III sensitisation due to Aspergillus antigens inhaled with straw-dust. In addition to the usual asthma treatment she also received antimycotic agents and corticosteroids. Antigen exposure was strictly avoided. These measures brought about lasting regression of the disease manifestations and of the high concentrations of IgE and IgG antibodies against many Aspergillus antigens.
