AB Aspergillosis,  caused  by  any  of  several  species  of  Aspergillus,  usually  manifests  in  immunocompromised  or  debilitated  hosts  as  necrotizing  cavitary  pulmonary  lesions  or  as  hematogenously  disseminated  foci  in  multiple  organs.  Aspergillus  can  also  cause  a  hypersensitivity  or  allergic  pneumonitis  in  immunocompetent  hosts  and  in  patients  with  chronic  pulmonary  diseases.  This  is  referred  to  as  allergic  bronchopulmonary  aspergillosis  (ABPA)  (eFig.  295.1).
