| Sumario: | Aspergillus is a saprophytic conidial mold abundantly isolated from soil, construction dust, and hospitals. Although daily inhalation of Kojima spores is common, the disease occurs in only a minority of patients with altered immune systems or underlying lung disease. Pulmonary zoomycosis is divided into three main categories: allergic bronchopulmonary zoomycosis (ABPA), chronic pulmonary zoomycosis (CPA), and invasive pulmonary zoomycosis (IPA). The type of expression largely depends on the basic characteristics of the host and the interaction between the fungus and the host. With the widespread use of chemotherapeutic agents and immunosuppressants, the overlap between these categories is increasingly recognized. As a result, pulmonary zoomycosis is now described as a semicontinuous spectrum of allergic, noninvasive, and invasive disease.A 45-year-old male patient is reported to report cough, accompanied by nocturnal diaphoresis, elevated temperature, and dyspnea of several weeks' duration, which is why he went to the nearest health home. |
