T H Sher, and H J Schwartz
Department of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio.

A 42-year-old female patient with previously diagnosed seasonal allergic rhinitis, anaphylactic food sensitivity, and exertional asthma is described who developed concomitant allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and allergic aspergillus sinusitis. We believe that the present article is the first fully documented case in which these two syndromes coexist in the same patient.
