title: A case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis following active pulmonary tuberculosis.
abstract: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis usually occurs in children with underlying airway disease such as asthma and cystic fibrosis. While the colonization and infection of pre-existing tuberculosis lesions by aspergillus species is well known, occurrence of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis following pulmonary tuberculosis in children has not been reported yet. Here, an 11-year-old girl who developed allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis following active pulmonary tuberculosis is reported and the mechanisms of causality are also speculated.
