摘要:
We report a case of allergic bronchopulmonary disease caused byBipolaris hawaiisensisin an immunocompetent host, presenting with symptoms and radiographic findings suggestive of necrotizing pneumonia. Cultures of the plugs and bronchial washing yielded the pathogenic fungi. Laboratory tests revealed eosinophilia and elevation of serum IgE. This patient was successfully treated with steroids, amphotericin B lipid complex, and itraconazole. Review of 10 previously reported cases and their clinical manifestations and treatment are presented.
