Tezepelumab treatment for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

Abstract

AbstractAn 82‐year‐old man had been diagnosed with asthma. He experienced repeated exacerbations requiring treatment with a systemic corticosteroid despite being treated with medications including high‐dose fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol, montelukast sodium, and theophylline; treatment with mepolizumab was then initiated. The patient had been free from exacerbations for 15 months; however, he suffered from post‐obstructive pneumonia and atelectasis secondary to mucoid impaction in the right middle lobe of the lung, accompanied by a productive cough, wheezing, dyspnea, and right chest pain. In addition to the development of mucus plugs, the levels of serum IgE specific to Aspergillus spp. became positive; a definite diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) was established. The patient underwent treatment with tezepelumab. Over 3 months, the mucus plugs and pulmonary opacities diminished gradually in parallel with the improvement in the control of asthmatic symptoms. Tezepelumab might provide a novel steroid‐sparing strategy for the management of ABPA, although further studies are required.
