High-Yield Explanation
This is really a good question. Need to be very thorough about it to answer. The table in harrison will give the clear answer without doubt: Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis such as those caused by Penicillium, Candida, Curvularia, or Helminthosporium spp. A. fumigatus is the most common cause of ABPA. Loeffler's syndrome was originally repoed as a benign, acute eosinophilic pneumonia of unknown cause characterized by migrating pulmonary infiltrates and minimal clinical manifestations. Eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome is an incurable and sometimes fatal flu-like neurological condition that is believed to have been caused by ingestion of poorly produced L-tryptophan supplement.
