Infectious Diseases

Conclusion: The development of pulmonary aspergilloma and invasive

aspergillosis is a rare complication of cystic fibrosis. We describe a

29-year-old patient with cystic fibrosis who had invasive pulmonary

aspergillosis that was not cured by amphotericin B, liposomal

amphotericin B, or itraconazole. This patient was subsequently

successfully treated and cured with the novel antifungal agent

voriconazole...
