Abstract
can induce allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), an immunological hypersensitivity reaction that frequently exacerbates the symptoms of cystic fibrosis and asthma patients. Due to persistent symptoms, a considerable percentage of patients with ABPA in India, a country where tuberculosis is widespread, are initially misdiagnosed as having pulmonary tuberculosis. We present a case of ABPA in a male industry worker, who was diagnosed after one year of having symptoms and has successfully recovered since.
