CBA does not appear to involve the alveolar areas of the lung. When such involvement is noted, the clinical manifestations are somewhat different, and they are classified as various types of allergic alveolitis. It is possible that many of these allergic bronchopulmonary diseases have similar pathophysiologic mechanisms.

Dreschlera (25), can cause similar disease. Therefore, the terms allergic bronchopulmonary mycoses (ABPM), allergic bronchopulmonary fungosis (ABPF), allergic bronchopulmonary candidiasis (ABPC), and allergic bronchopulmonary helminthosporosis (ABPH) have been used to describe illnesses similar to ABPA (26,27).
