A 69-year-old woman presented with a persistent cough and high fever. Thoracic computed tomography revealed atelectasis and high-attenuation mucus. The blood test results showed eosinophils at 18.2%, an absolute eosinophil count of 980 cells/µL, and a total serum immunoglobulin E of 1980IU/mL. Bronchoscopy revealed a mucous plug, which upon photomicrograph examination, showed eosinophils. A culture study of the mucus yielded Scedosporium apiospermum, leading to the suspicion of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) caused by the fungus. After the bronchoscopic removal of the mucous plug, her symptoms quickly diminished. She was successfully treated without medication, and ABPM has not recurred for 2 years. To our knowledge, ABPM caused by Scedosporium apiospermum is rare, and close follow-up was effective without the administration of systemic steroids or antifungal drugs.
