Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) are diseases caused by Aspergillus infection, and CPA can develop from ABPA in some cases. We herein report a patient with CPA overlapping with ABPA. Serum cytokine levels were evaluated at 4 time points: the ABPA diagnosis, CPA diagnosis, 6 months after the start of voriconazole (VRCZ), and 12 months after re-administration of VRCZ. Interleukin (IL)-13 levels decreased upon glucocorticoid treatment, whereas IL-25 and IL-33 levels decreased rapidly with the initiation of antifungals. Early antifungal therapy may be important to control disease progression and prevent CPA overlap.
