Abstract:
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immunologically mediated disease characterized by a hypersensitivity reaction to fungal colonization by Aspergillus. Hydropneumothoraces and bronchopleural fistulae are rare occurrences in patients with ABPA. However, the diagnosis of ABPA is important to consider, as it is easily treatable with specific therapy. We report an unusual case of a patient with ABPA who presented to us with hydropneumothorax with bronchopleural fistula.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
