Disease Introduction MechanismPulmonary aspergillosis (PA) generally results from the colonization of a pre-existing lung cavity or of a bronchiectatic lesion by the ubiquitous Aspergillus fungi species. PA often requires surgical intervention when there is a risk of sudden life-threatening hemop- tysis or when antifungal agents are not effective.
