We like to report usefulness of endobronchial instillations of amphotericin B in a case of Aspergillus colonization in which surgical resection had failed and the treatment with oral itraconazole alone was less effective. This treatment was well tolerated and less expensive than systemic antifungal treatments because it was performed on an outpatient basis. It would be interesting to consider this method in the future among patients who present with a fungus ball in the computed tomography scan.
