Allergic bronchopulmonary stemphyliosis

S R Benatar, B Allan, R P Hewitson

    Thorax
    |July 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hypersensitivity to Stemphylium lanuginosum mimicked allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in a patient. This suggests non-Aspergillus fungi may be more common causes of bronchopulmonary reactions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Mycology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a lung disease caused by hypersensitivity to Aspergillus species.
    • Diagnosis typically relies on identifying Aspergillus sensitization and characteristic clinical and radiological findings.

    Observation:

    • A case study details a patient presenting with symptoms highly suggestive of ABPA.
    • However, diagnostic tests revealed sensitization to Stemphylium lanuginosum, not Aspergillus.

    Findings:

    • The patient's clinical presentation was attributed to hypersensitivity pneumonitis induced by Stemphylium lanuginosum.
    • This highlights Stemphylium lanuginosum as a potential allergen causing ABPA-like symptoms.

    Implications:

    • Bronchopulmonary hypersensitivity reactions to fungal antigens other than Aspergillus may be underdiagnosed.
    • Clinicians should consider a broader range of fungi when evaluating patients with suspected ABPA.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the prevalence of non-Aspergillus-induced lung diseases.
