    Abstract:
    Case 1 was a 53-year-old man with a past history of chronic pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus and left upper lobectomy for lung cancer, 3 years previously. He was admitted with fever and an abnormal consolidative shadow in the left upper lung field of his chest X-ray film. Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus niger were detected in his sputum and bronchial washing. Case 2 was a 60-year-old man, in whom left upper lobectomy had been performed for lung cancer 7 years previously. He was admitted with cough and fever. His chest X-ray film showed consolidation with a cavitary lesion in the left upper lung field. Aspergillus fumigatus was detected in his bronchial washing. Each case was treated successfully with a combination of antifungal agents.
