[Treatment of non-invasive pulmonary aspergillosis with new anti-fungal drugs].
Pulmonary aspergilloma is characterized radiographically by the presence of a fungal ball. However, this disease proscess begins from a considerably earlier date. X-ray findings can detect the early stages of this disease better than any other inspective methods. ⋯ This disease is configured with each different sequential stage. The clinical terms of "Pulmonary aspergilloma" or "Semi Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis" describes only a limited phase of this chronic and prolonged disease. We consider that the term of "Chronic Necrotizing Pulmonary Aspergillosis" is more suitable expression for this disease entity, if the original definition could be re-defined.
