Misdiagnosis and Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
Chronic lung diseases hard to diagnose: Some of the chronic lung diseases
are difficult to diagnose.
Even the well-knowns conditions such as asthma or lung cancer often fail to be diagnosed early.
Some of the chronic lung diseases with diagnostic difficulties
include asthma (perhaps surprisingly), COPD, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, mesothelioma,
smoker's cough, AIDS-related respiratory conditions (see AIDS), chronic pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases.
Rare possibilities include diseases like psittacosis (bird-related lung infection).

Article Excerpts about Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
In some individuals, exposure to these fungi also can lead to asthma or to a
lung disease resembling severe inflammatory asthma called allergic
bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. This latter condition, which occurs only in a
minority of people with asthma, is characterized by wheezing, low-grade fever,
and coughing up of brown-flecked masses or mucus plugs. Skin testing, blood
tests, X-rays, and examination of the sputum for fungi can help establish the
diagnosis. Corticosteroid drugs are usually effective in treating this reaction;
immunotherapy (allergy shots) is not helpful. (Source: excerpt from Something in the Air Airborne Allergens: NIAID)
Definitions of Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis:
Aspergillosis of the lung occurring in an individual with long-standing bronchial asthma. It is characterized by pulmonary infiltrates, eosinophilia, elevated serum IgE and immediate type skin reactivity to aspergillus antigen.
