In cystic fibrosis, respiratory infections represent the main cause of impaired lung function, mainly of bacterial etiology due to S. aureus, H. influenzae and P. aeruginosa, followed in frequency by infections by filamentous fungi such as Aspergillus fumigatus. Although it has been seen that the risk of developing allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is higher in these patients, its diagnosis can sometimes be quite a challenge, so when pulmonary deterioration and frequent exacerbations occur, it is necessary to have a clinical suspicion and perform an immunological, clinical, and imaging approach, taking into account that its timely treatment reduces the risk of associated complications. A case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in a pediatric patient with a history of cystic fibrosis is presented for its respective analysis taking into account its impact on clinical outcomes and disease progression.
