Abstract
A 54-year-old female presented with an exacerbation of right middle lobe bronchiectasis. A bronchoscopic bronchial washing and repeated trials of sputum culture consistently recovered no other infectious agent except Exophiala dermatitidis. Her illness was improved by administrations of intravenous miconazole and nebulized amphotericin B when sputum cultures yielded no fungi, demonstrating a pathogenic role of the fungi. The present case illustrates E. dermatitidis as a pathogenic agent in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.Entities:
