[Semi-invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Apropos of a case].

A 43-year-old man was admitted to hospital for excavated pneumopathy of the upper part of the right lung, revealed by signs of respiratory infection evolving for a few weeks and involving a 10-kg weight loss. The radiological and clinical evolution and the demonstration of Aspergillus fumigatus allowed establishing a diagnosis of semi-invasive aspergillosis. The treatment, associating amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine, replaced by itraconazole 15 days later, soon produced clinical healing and radiological improvement.
