Abstract
Aspergillosis is a systemic fungal infections found both in immunocompromised as well as in immunocompetent individuals. Here we report 2 cases of fungal pathogen infected patients with an unusual Aspergillus species. The association of tuberculosis with A.

Therefore fungal cultures also becomes mandate in a pneumonia patient sample and excluding rare species is a must in the current era of emerging and reemerging infections.
