摘要
Aspergillus fumigatus plays a major role in pulmonary exacerbations in patients with cystic fibrosis. The most common A. fumigatus diseases are those based on immune-mediated response to A. fumigatus antigens; including allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). In this condition; the presence of A. fumigatus in the lower respiratory tract triggers an IgE-mediated hypersensitivity response that causes airway inflammation; bronchospasms; and bronchiectasis. This case report describes a ten-year-old male patient suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) in whom the diagnosis of ABPA occurred in association with pneumonia due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae more than two weeks after hospitalization. This case is a good example of how difficult the identification of ABPA in CF patients can be and highlights that ABPA can occur in association with co-infections due to other pathogens. In order to avoid the risk of a late ABPA diagnosis, it is imperative that the diagnostic criteria guidelines are reviewed and standardized.
