    Dear Editor, Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immunological pulmonary disorder caused by hypersensitivity to Aspergillus fumigatus. Patients with asthma who present with ABPA typically report symptoms such as chronic mucus hypersecretion, and previous research has indicated that ABPA is a risk factor for accelerated loss of lung function. However, the pathogenesis of ABPA is not fully understood. In the present report, we discuss a case of ABPA occurring after eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP).
