The Vanishing lung - An Unusual Presentation of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis: A Case Report

Abstract Patients with asthma are mostly affected by ABPA (Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis), an immunologic condition brought on by hypersensitivity to Aspergillus fumigatus. This report presents a 62-year-old female asthmatic who developed ABPA, resulting in sudden respiratory distress. Early diagnosis through bronchoscopy and appropriate antifungal and corticosteroid treatment led to significant clinical and radiological improvement. This case highlights the importance of timely identification of ABPA in asthmatics with worsening symptoms and the utility of bronchoscopy in diagnosis and treatment.
