Bilateral Chronic Cavitary Pulmonary Aspergillosis in a Patient With Mycobacteria Other Than Tuberculosis (MOTT) Infection: A Case Report

Chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA) is a rare, progressive lung infection primarily caused by the <i>Aspergillus</i> species. It typically affects individuals with underlying lung conditions, such as pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or interstitial lung disease. <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> is the most commonly identified organism. Clinical manifestations can vary from no symptoms at all to chronic cough with or without hemoptysis. Here, we report a 40-year-old male with bilateral CCPA following nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection, diagnosed after a persistent history of cough, breathlessness, and episodes of hemoptysis.
