Abstract:
A 61-year-old woman with a history of asthma and pulmonary tuberculosis was presented with purulent bloody sputum. She was treated as having lung abscess initially, but her signs and symptoms did not improve with traditional therapy. Finally, in the clinical course and laboratory data during hospitalization, she was diagnosed as ABPA with coexistent aspergilloma. Thereafter she was treated with itraconazole for aspergilloma, and corticosteroid for ABPA. The symptoms of hemoptysis and dyspnea were improved. A case of ABPA with coexistent aspergilloma and a brief review of the literature were presented.
