Case Reports[A case of Aspergillus niger pneumonia cured with an early diagnosis].
We have experienced a case with A. niger aspergilloma who developed Aspergillus pneumonia after bacterial pulmonary infection. Examinations of sputum cytology and detection of serum Aspergillus antigen were useful for an early diagnosis of his condition. Early and intensive antifungal chemotherapy mainly with intravenous amphotericin B brought about his complete remission.
