ABSTRACT
Filamentous fungi were isolated from antemortem sputum and an autopsy fungus ball of the lung in a case of aspergilloma. Both of the isolates were analyzed for the sequences of species or strain-specific nuclear ribosomal DNA (partial 28S and ITS1 regions), and were identified as Aspergillus fumigatus. The molecular biological technique saved time and is thought to be a powerful tool in the accurate diagnosis of pulmonary fungal infection to assure effective treatment.
