| Core Tip |
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an allergic reaction to antigen from Aspergillus species that causes exacerbation of bronchial asthma, eosinophilic pneumonia, and bronchiectasis. Conventional therapy includes the administration of oral glucocorticoids and other antiasthmatic therapy. However, there are intractable cases showing repeated clinical exacerbations of bronchial asthma despite therapy with oral glucocorticoids. Previous reports have shown that the addition of monoclonal antibodies against interleukin (IL)-4/IL-13 or dupilumab to the treatment is effective and allows the reduction in the dose of glucocorticoids in ABPA patients. However, there is no report of complete withdrawal of oral glucocorticoids after therapy with dupilumab in these patients. Here, we report the first case of ABPA in which complete withdrawal of oral glucocorticoid was possible after treatment with dupilumab. |
