This study reports the first case of lung and fungus ball lesions caused by Cladosporium subcinereum A48. A rural diabetic woman infected by C. subcinereum A48, presented with fever and hemoptysis. CT scans, bronchoalveolar lavage, cultureand molecular methods were used to evaluate and confirm the disease. Our patient had not taken insulin during the last few months of her life which probably caused acidosis and a decrease in the patient's immunity level, resulting in penetration and formation of a fungal in the lung.
