Overview
Authors

The cause of granulomatous parenchymal reaction in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis has been attributed to a hypersensitivity reaction. A case is reported with Aspergillus fumigatus identified in lung tissue, suggesting that the pathologic changes in some cases can be due to limited parenchymal colonization.
