Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is now a well known entity in asthmatic patients. Despite the familial occurrence of bronchial asthma, the familiar occurrence of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is a rarity. Here 2 cases of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in a family (brother and sister), treated with prednisolone with complete remission are reported. The clinicans should have a high index of suspicion to investigate all the members of a patient with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, who are having history of asthma or rhinitis.
变应性支气管肺曲霉病目前在哮喘患者中是一种广为人知的病症。尽管支气管哮喘有家族聚集性，但变应性支气管肺曲霉病的家族聚集情况却很罕见。本文报告了一家（兄妹）中2例变应性支气管肺曲霉病患者，经泼尼松龙治疗后完全缓解。临床医生对于有哮喘或鼻炎病史的变应性支气管肺曲霉病患者的所有家庭成员，应高度怀疑并进行检查。
