A 69-year-old man with pulmonary aspergilloma was admitted to the hospital because of persistent cough and slight fever. Antifungal agents were administered on a diagnosis of chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis or symptomatic aspergilloma. Despite the antifungal treatment, wheezing developed, suggesting a complication of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). Finally, a definitive diagnosis of ABPA was made using the Rosenberg-Patterson criteria. Inhaled corticosteroid therapy reduced his wheezing. This case study indicates that there is a possibility that aspergilloma might coexist with ABPA. Therefore, we should pay attention to the possible complication of ABPA when treating pulmonary aspergilloma.
