ABSTRACT

A 73-year-old male with a residual cavity developed eosinophilia during treatment of pulmonary actinomycosis. After 8 months of antibiotic administration, he suffered from wheezing and dyspnea. Chest computed tomography showed thickening of the cavity wall and intrabronchial mucoid impaction, and sputum was positive for Aspergillus fumigatus. He was diagnosed with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and was treated with methylprednisolone. However, the pulmonary lesions deteriorated and were accompanied by fever, which was thought to develop into invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) after steroid treatment for 7 days. He was treated with combination antifungal therapy. We considered that this case underwent development from chronic Aspergillus infection in the residual cavity to ABPA and moreover progressed to IPA triggered by steroid treatment.
