Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis Misdiagnosed as Non-resolving Pneumonia: A Case Report.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a hypersensitivity reaction triggered by colonization of the airways that primarily affects immunocompetent individuals, particularly those with asthma. ABPA can often be misdiagnosed as severe asthma or non-resolving pneumonia, leading to delays in appropriate management. Early recognition of ABPA is crucial to prevent disease progression and unnecessary antibiotic use.
