Abstract
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis commonly occurs in patients with pre-existing lung disorders like bronchial asthma or cystic fibrosis. We present the case of an elderly asthmatic lady who presented with acute dyspnoea and was found to have left sided lung collapse due to mucus plug obstruction. On further investigation, she was found to have aspergillosis. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis presenting as lung collapse is a rare scenario.
Keywords : Aspergillosis, Asthma, Dyspnea, Lung, Mucus, Pulmonary Atelectasis.
