    Allergic bronchopulmonary candidiasis is diagnosed in an asthma patient with elevated IgE and Candida antibodies. Corticosteroid treatment significantly reduced IgE levels and antibody activity.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Mycology
    • Pulmonology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Allergic bronchopulmonary candidiasis (ABPC) is a hypersensitivity reaction to Candida species.
    • Asthma is a common comorbidity, presenting diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A patient with asthma presented with symptoms suggestive of ABPC.
    • Clinical manifestations included fleeting pulmonary infiltrates and positive skin reactivity to Candida albicans.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited elevated total serum IgE, specific IgE and IgG antibodies against Candida albicans, and positive sputum cultures.
    • Treatment with corticosteroids led to a significant reduction in serum IgE levels and specific IgE antibody activity.

    Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering ABPC in asthmatic patients with eosinophilia and fungal sensitization.
  • Effective management with corticosteroids can lead to serological improvement, suggesting a role in monitoring disease activity.
