| Popis: | The case is described of a woman of 21 who had suffered since childhood from asthma and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. During her recovery from a period of severe status asthmaticus she developed widespread patchy lung shadowing, signs of an intracerebral space-occupying lesion and high titres of serum precipitins to Aspergillus fumigatus. Post-mortem examination revealed Aspergillus bronchopneumonia and an intracerebral aspergilloma. |
