[Secondary active-evolutive cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis of the apicodorsal segment of the left upper lobe associated with bronchial tuberculosis and bronchial geotrichosis].
A case of active pulmonary secondary tuberculosis associated with bronchial tuberculosis and bronchial geotrichosis is presented. This association is infrequent. Favoring factors: local and general immunodepression (recurrent infection with pyogenic germs, rubella, neutropenia, aggressive antibiotherapy, iron deficiency). The diagnosis was based mainly on the bacteriological sputum examination for bK (smear and culture) and the mycologic examination (smear and culture) of the bronchial aspiration, identifying Geotrichum candidum. The treatment consisted of antituberculous and antimycotic drugs, bronchodilators, bronchial aspirations and local endoscopic administration of antimycotic drugs.
