Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum in a Patient with Allergic Bronchopulmonary Mycosis
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is the manifestation of air in the mediastinum in the non-attendance of trauma and it is uncommon. We showed spontaneous pneumomediastinum, a rare complication after an asthma attack. ABPM is a rare disease, often associated with severe asthma.

Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis due to Alternaria: Case report and review
While allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and mycosis are well recognised, no cases have been described related to Alternaria spp. Alternaria is a common sensitising fungus in asthmatics and related to thunderstorm asthma. We report a case of an asthmatic who presented with worsening asthma control, mild eosinophilia on high dose inhaled ...

Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis - pathophysiology, histology, diagnosis, and treatment [PDF]
Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) develops mainly in patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis via types I and III hypersensitivity reactions to filamentous fungi. Aspergillus spp., especially Aspergillus fumigatus, is the major causative fungus because of its small conidia, thermophilic hyphae, and ability to secrete serine proteases.

Clinical characteristics of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis caused by Schizophyllum commune [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundAllergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) is an allergic disease caused by type I and type III hypersensitivity to environmental fungi. Schizophyllum commune, a basidiomycete fungus, is one of the most common fungi that causes nonāAspergillus ABPM.ObjectiveHerein, we attempted to clarify the clinical characteristics of ABPM caused by S.
