ABSTRACT

A 68-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of chronic cough. A paranasal sinuses radiograph showed fluid retention in the right maxillary sinus, and chest computed tomography showed hyperattenuated mucoid impaction and consolidation in the lingular segment. Bronchoscopy showed a mucous plug in the lingular bronchus. A biopsy specimen of a mucous plug obtained by bronchoscopy showed fungal hyphae and numerous eosinophils, with evidence of lung tissue eosinophilia. We detected both precipitating and specific IgE antibodies against Schizophyllum commune and performed a bronchoprovocation test using crude extract of S. commune, which led to the definitive diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis caused by S. commune. Because sinusitis also improved when the Sc-ABPM treatment was applied, a possibility of SAM syndrome was suggested.
