Spectrum of pulmonary aspergillus diseases in post TB lung diseases
2022, Indian Journal of TuberculosisCitation Excerpt :The residual cavities of post TB patients is the one of the important risk factor for pulmonary aspergillosis. The residual cavities are seen in 20–40% of patients after PTB treatment.22,27,28 We also found high prevalence of cavitory diseases in nearly 57% post-TB patients.

2019, Respiratory Medicine Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Aspergilloma is the most common and most well recognized form of pulmonary involvement due to Aspergillus with usual development in pre-existing cavities in the lung. By staying within the borders of a lung cavity, aspergillomas are characterized by their non-invasiveness, as evident in up to 11% of patients who suffered previously from tuberculosis resulting in the formation of cavities [1]. After tuberculosis being the most common associated condition, other cavitary lung diseases can also be complicated by aspergilloma including sarcoidosis, bronchiectasis, bronchial cysts and bulla, ankylosing spondylitis, pulmonary infections and neoplasms [2–4].
