A Suspected Case of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Mycosis Associated With Exophiala dermatitidis
An 83‐year‐old man without asthma developed allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) associated with Exophiala dermatitidis. This case suggests that E. dermatitidis may be involved in ABPM. ABSTRACT Exophiala dermatitidis is a black fungus that can colonize the airways, but allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) associated with E.
