Abstract
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is a lung disease characterized by an immune response to several antigens of Aspergillus species. Corticosteroids are the treatment of choice in the acute phase, although some studies have shown the efficacy of itraconazole. We describe the case of a favorable, prolonged therapeutic response to voriconazole in a patient with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis who did not tolerate itraconazole.
