  • Title: Life-threatening allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in a well child with cystic fibrosis.
    Author: Skowronski E, Fitzgerald DA.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 2005 May 02; 182(9):482-3. PubMed ID: 15865595.
    Abstract:
    Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an uncommon condition which may complicate asthma and cystic fibrosis; it is seldom considered life-threatening. We report a well 8-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis and normal lung function who progressed to respiratory failure over several days, attributable to ABPA. He recovered with non-invasive ventilation and oral corticosteroid and antifungal medications, regaining normal lung function within 2 months. To our knowledge, such an acute severe presentation of ABPA in a previously well child has not been reported before.
