Pulmonary Mycosis (report of two cases)

폐진균증(肺眞菌症) -2례(例) 보고(報告)-

It has been known which the pulmonary mycosis usually results from secondary invader of preexisting bronchopulmonary diseases, e.g. pulmonary tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, abscess, cysts, or pulmonary malignancy and as the predisposing factor appears to be concerned with long-term therapy of several antibiotics, steroids, or chemotherapeutic agents, etc. Recently, it has been interested rather the diagnosis and pathogenesis of then pulmonary mycosis than the treatment, especially because of some difficulty of the diagnosis. The authors experienced too cases of the pulmonary mycosis which were treated onc case medically, as moniliasis and the other surgically, as aspergillosis. There was noticed that our pulmonary moniliasis developed probably due to long-term therapy of antibiotics and aspergillosis resulted from secondary invader in the previous cyst of bronchiectasis.
