Abstract
Twenty-one cases of pulmonary aspergillosis managed surgically over a 13 year period in the Missouri State Chest Hospital were reviewed. Postoperative complications occurred in 11 patients (52 per cent) but were mostly manageable by conservative measures. There was one postoperative hospital death due to respiratory failure. With the lack of an effective and safe antifungal drug, resection is the treatment of choice for suitable candidates. In conclusion, some guidelines were drawn for the management of patients with this disease.
