Abstract
Fungal infections can colonize in lung cavities mostly in immunocompromised patients. Aspergillosis can develop in cavities formed due to tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, lung abscess and cavitary neoplasms. Pulmonary aspergillosis has been reported rarely in pulmonary cavities after the removal of hydatid cyst. We report a case in an immunocompetant patient in whom co-existence of echinococcosis and aspergillosis was detected which is extremely rare. For the better management of the patient while dealing with hydatid cyst, concurrence of aspergillosis should be kept in mind.
