[Pulmonary aspergillosis. Presentation of an anatomo-clinical case of lobitis]. / L'aspergillosi polmonare. Presentazione di un caso anatomo-clinico di lobite.

A case of pulmonary aspergillosis in an elderly, wasted patient is described from the clinical and anatomopathological points of view. The different ways in which pulmonary aspergillosis presents in humans are reviewed and the different factors favouring onset of the disease, which has become commoner in recent years, are considered. Finally, stress is laid on the anatomoclinical aspects of the case which, unlike those typical of aspergillosic pneumonia, also presented cavital zones.
