[Chronic semi-invasive aspergillosis with broncho-pleural fistula treated with itraconazole and surgically].
A case of 25 years lasting semi-invasive (necrotic) aspergillosis is presented. Aspergilloma in the probably post-tuberculous cavity was the first sign of the disease. Then, in the course of disease, two broncho-pleural fistulas, bronchiectases and cirrhosis of the lung were observed. Effective antifungal treatment with itraconazole was followed by pneumonectomy of the affected lung.
