Three cases of parenchymal sarcoidosis with aspergilloma are described. Emphysematous bullae due to the basic disease were thought to predispose to aspergillomas. The roles possibly played by disturbances in cell-mediated immunity, associated with sarcoidosis, and by corticosteroid therapy are discussed. Antimycotics were effective in this difficult combination of diseases. Although the aspergillomas were not completely cured, a decrease in the amount of sputum and in the frequency of haemoptysis was noted for long periods. These drugs may also be useful as protective medication against invasive aspergillosis during corticosteroid therapy in patients with aspergilloma.
