Resumen
La aspergilosis broncopulmonar alérgica es una enfermedad de progresión lenta, producida por la hipersensibilidad al hongo Aspergillus fumigatus cuando invade la vía aérea. Por lo general afecta a pacientes asmáticos y con fibrosis quística. Comunicamos el caso de un paciente de 20 años de edad, estudiante, ganadero y agricultor, con un cuadro respiratorio crónico. Luego del análisis de sus síntomas y de estudios complementarios, llegamos al diagnóstico de aspergilosis broncopulmonar alérgica.Referencias
