Abstract
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis [ABPA] complicates cystic fibrosis in around 10% of teenagers. Systemic corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment but with on-going use are associated with significant side effects prompting consideration of steroid sparing therapies. The clinical courses over ten years of two children with CF complicated by steroid dependent chronic ABPA and its successful treatment with monthly omalizumab are reported.Entities:
