ABSTRACT

We retrospectively investigated the efficacy of biologics in eight patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. All the patients had been treated with systemic corticosteroid therapy and antifungal agents, and biologics were radiologically effective in 54.5% of patients. In two of the three patients who had been treated with biologics for more than 1 year the beneficial effects were sustained.
