A Case of Aspergillosis of the Lung

PANAYIOTIS CHORTIS M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Assistant Professor, University of Athens, and Director of Sanatorium Sotiria, Athens, Greece.

A case of pulmonary aspergillosis treated as pulmonary tuberculosis for many years has been discussed. The character of the sputum and the persistantly negative examination for tubercle bacilli led to repeated cultures of the sputum with the aspergillus fumigatus finally being recovered. Treatment with sulfathiazole and potassium iodide has produced complete cure within 5 months.
