title: Invasive aspergillosis associated with pulmonary hydatid disease.
abstract: A patient presented with a cavitating lung lesion. Serology and sputum microscopy led to the diagnosis of pulmonary hydatid disease. However, histology of the operative samples revealed aspergillosis in the cavity and surrounding lung tissue. This is the first report of invasive aspergillosis occurring as a consequence of spontaneous hydatid cyst rupture.
