A unique case of hydropneumothorax in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immunologically mediated disease characterized by a hypersensitivity reaction to fungal colonization by Aspergillus. Hydropneumothoraces and bronchopleural fistulae are rare occurrences in patients with ABPA. However, the diagnosis of ABPA is impo...

description Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immunologically mediated disease characterized by a hypersensitivity reaction to fungal colonization by Aspergillus. Hydropneumothoraces and bronchopleural fistulae are rare occurrences in patients with ABPA. However, the diagnosis of ABPA is important to consider, as it is easily treatable with specific therapy. We report an unusual case of a patient with ABPA who presented to us with hydropneumothorax with bronchopleural fistula.
