A case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis complicated by pinworm infection in a child: immune interaction mechanism and stepwise treatment strategy
This article reports a rare pediatric case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) complicated by concurrent pinworm infection, highlighting immune interaction and individualized, stepwise management. A 10-year-7-month-old girl presented with recurrent cough and wheezing; laboratory testing showed marked eosinophilia (1.23×109/L) and elevated total immunoglobulin E (1 196 IU/mL). Aspergillus fumigatus IgG was 88.61 AU/mL, and Aspergillus fumigatus allergen m3-specific IgE was 0.37 IU/mL. Stool parasite examination confirmed pinworm infection. Chest computed tomography demonstrated atypical segmental pulmonary consolidation. Through multidisciplinary collaboration, stepwise anti-infective therapy (cefoperazone-sulbactam followed by imipenem and then voriconazole), pulsed anthelminthic therapy (albendazole), and immunomodulatory treatment were implemented, resulting in complete symptom resolution and sustained remission over 30 months of follow-up. This case illustrates a dynamic balance of Th2 immune polarization under parasitic-fungal co-infection and, for the first time, proposes a "parasite-fungus-immune memory triangle" conceptual model, offering insights for individualized management in complex pediatric infections.
