ABSTRACT
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis are two forms of lung disease with presumed distinct immunoallergic mechanisms. We report the observation of a 38-year-old French farmer who, for one month, had fever and dyspnoea resistant to antibiotic therapy. A diagnosis of farmer's lung, and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis was made on clinical, biological, functional and radiological evidence and according to the criteria established. The evolution was favorable with antigenic eviction and corticosteroid therapy. This observation is to our knowledge the 5th case that describes the association of hypersensitivity pneumonitis and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. It suggests the existence of risk factors and immunoallergic mechanisms common to both diseases and discusses the hypothesis that the same antigen(s) is (are) responsible for them.
