Article Synopsis
- Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is a rare immune response to the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, leading to symptoms like lung inflammation and high eosinophil counts in the blood.
- A 42-year-old male with diabetes exhibited severe respiratory issues and was found to have high eosinophils and elevated IgE for the fungus; he was treated with oxygen, prednisone, and itraconazole, resulting in improvement.
- The condition can be deadly, especially in immunocompromised individuals; diabetic patients have a higher prevalence of fungal infections, with nearly 37% potentially affected compared to only 4.7% in non-diabetics.

Background: Extralobar pulmonary sequestration is located outside the lung parenchyma and is covered by a separated pleural sac, which comprises approximately 25% of all pulmonary sequestration.
Case Presentation: This article reported one case of an extralobar pulmonary sequestration originated from the mesoesophagus, which was recognized and excised during a lung resection. Histologic examination revealed an ectopic lung tissue with hyperplasia of bronchioles, which was accord with an extralobar pulmonary sequestration.

Bronchopulmonary fistula (BPF) is an abnormal connection between the pleural space and bronchial tree, potentially leading to fatal outcomes if untreated. While BPF commonly arises following lung surgery, it can also be linked to infections. This report details the case of a 47-year-old male with recent untreated bacterial pneumonia, who developed bilateral pneumothoraces with persistent air leaks, Pseudomonas and empyema, culminating in a right-sided BPF necessitating video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) decortication.
