Abstract
Monosporium apiospermum was repeatedly isolated from the sputum and intracavitary exudate of a man with cavitary bronchiectasis of undetermined etiology. Clinical findings suggestive of tuberculosis were present in this and two of four other cases previously reported. Aspergillus fumigatus was also found in the lungs at autopsy. Although the pathogenicity of Aspergillus is well established, the potential of M. apiospermum to produce pulmonary lesions in man remains to be determined.
