Abstract
The authors report two Tunisian cases of invasive pulmonary aspergillo sis, one caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, the other by A. nidulans, ob served in two children with chronic granulomatous disease: pathology c haracterized by hereditary abnormality of oxydative response of phagoc ytic cells, frequently complicated by Aspergillus infections. Despite of a long therapy by amphotericin B and 5-fluorocystosine, the course of the disease was rapid and fatal with bone destruction and extension at skin of pulmonary lesions.
