The objective of this study was to analyze the results of various treatments for @entity358 and to determine the surgical indications. A total of 41 @entity1 with @entity358 hospitalized at the National Minamifukuoka Chest Hospital between 1973 and 1999 were analyzed with regard to their response to treatment and long-term prognosis. Five asymptomatic @entity1 who were untreated demonstrated no change in the clinical status of aspergilloma. Analysis of the short-term response revealed surgery to be the most effective treatment. Systemic and intracavitary injections of antifungal drugs were not definitely effective, although they had a positive effect in some @entity1 . A survival analysis revealed that all eight @entity1 who underwent surgery are still alive. Using the Cox proportional hazard model, it was found that the favorable prognostic factors were the absence of symptoms, the absence of a superimposed @entity2348 , and surgery. There were ten deaths: three from @entity2 and seven related to uncontrollable superimposed @entity2348 , often resulting in hemoptysis. We conclude that @entity1 with asymptomatic @entity358 should be clinically observed for signs of the development of @entity2 , but do not require active treatment. On the other hand, @entity1 who are symptomatic and have uncontrollable superimposed @entity2348 will benefit from surgery.
