  • Title: Bilateral pulmonary aspergilloma in ankylosing spondylitis treated with transthoracic intracavitary instillations of antifungal agents.
    Author: Stiksa G, Eklundh G, Riebe I, Simonsson BG.
    Journal: Scand J Respir Dis; 1976; 57(4):163-70. PubMed ID: 790560.
    Abstract:
    Repeated transthoracic intracavitary injections of amphotericin B, nystatin and pimaricine proved a simple and safe method in the treatment of bilateral pulmonary aspergillomas in a patient with large cavities caused by lung disease in ankylosing spondylitis. Both large mycetomas were dissolved by this treatment in combination with peroral corticosteroid medication, and the patient's general condition improved markedly.
