ABSTRACT
A 72-year-old man had a history of bronchial asthma and was in close contact with dogs. He was referred for progressive productive cough, and a chest unenhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed mucoid impaction and central bronchiectasis. Schizophyllum commune and Pasteurella multocida were detected in sputum and endotracheal aspirates. He developed acute pneumonia due to P. multocida after undergoing bronchoscopy, and antimicrobial treatment was administered prior to starting corticosteroids. It should be noted that airway lesions due to allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis could be complicated by various bacterial infections.
