"Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is the result of hypersensitivity towards Aspergillus spp (esp fumigatus) which grows within the lumen of the bronchi, without invasion. The hypersensitivity initially causes bronchospasm and bronchial wall oedema, which is IgE-mediated. Ultimately, there is bronchial wall damage with loss of muscle and bronchial wall cartilage resulting in bronchiectasis (typically central bronchiectasis) 7. Both types I and III allergic reactions have been implicated 4."
