Introduction: Aspergillosis is a serious pathologic condition caused by Aspergillus organisms and is frequently seen in immunocompromised patients. Aspergillus species causes a variety of pulmonary diseases such as saphrophyticus (aspergilloma/mycetoma), hypersensitivity reaction (allergic bronhopulmonary), semi- invasive (chronic necrotizing) and angioinvasive aspergillosis.
Case Report: We report a case of pulmonary aspergilloma (PA) in 38 years old patient who was previously healthy with complaints of fever and hemoptysis. PA was diagnosed radiologically and confirmed by serology.
Conclusion: Oral itraconazole was administered. The patient responded well to the treatment with improvement in his systemic symptoms and regression of the pulmonary lesions.
