Pulmonary Aspergillosis with Staged Bilateral Pneumothorax - one case -
기흉을 동반한 폐 Aspergillosis 1예
Abstract
We managed a 30 years old female pulmonary aspergillosis patient concomitant with staged pneumothorax bilaterally whose lung function decreased severely. Operative indication was fetal hemoptysis. She discharged at four weeks after left upper lobectomy in good general condition. And we .concluded that early resection should be considered in patients with pulmonary aspergilloma and coexistent pulmonary tuberculosis because those are at greater risk of fetal hemorrhage, particularly once severe hemoptysis has occurred although poor lung function in our country.
