| Abstract |
A 62-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and alcoholic liver cirrhosis was admitted to the hospital because of hemoptysis. Chest X-ray films and computed tomograms showed a dense infiltrative lesion and a healed tuberculous cavity with a possible fungus ball in the upper lobe of the right lung. Bronchoscopy revealed that the hemoptysis originated from the right upper-lobe bronchus. The bleeding stopped after thrombin was applied into the bronchus. Filamentous fungi were seen in lavage fluid from the right upper-lobe bronchus. The fungi were identified as Pseudallescheria boydii, and pulmonary pseudallescheriasis was diagnosed. the patient was treated successfully with miconazole (400 mg/day) for 2 months. Pseudallescheriasis should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of aspergilloma-like lesions. |
