Abstract
We here describe a patient with allergic bronchopulmonary candidiasis. Thin-section computed tomography scan demonstrated bronchiectasis, bronchial wall thickening, distal mucoid impactions and areas of segmental atelectasis. His condition improved partially with fluconazole and more thoroughly with prednisolone. Marijuana smoking may have been a contributing factor in the development of this disease possibly by favoring mucosal colonization of the patient's oral cavity by Candida.
