A case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is presented. The patient had corticosteroid-dependent asthma, recurrent pulmonary infiltrates clearing with oral prednisone bursts, positive dual (immediate and late) skin test (prick and intradermal) reactivity to Aspergillus fumigatus, 11% blood eosinophilia, elevated total serum IgE, positive precipitating antibody against Aspergillus fumigatus, and elevated specific serum antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus (positive IgE and IgG antibody indices, and elevated IgE levels by both RAST and FAST). To our knowledge this is the first immunologically documented case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in Brazil. Future survey studies are required.
