ABSTRACT
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is a
clinical entitiy which typically affects asthmatic
and cystic fibrosis patients with an important
allergic predisposition. The disease is a
pulmonary inflammatory phenomenon due to a
complex immune response against the
colonization of
Aspergillus sp. The clinical
stages and natural history of this disease are
complex and are defined clinically and by the
patient’s response to treatment. The diagnosis is
made on clinical, radiological and laboratory
findings. The treatment is based on oral
corticosteroids and antifungal therapy.
