Popis: | Two cases of human pulmonary adiaspiromycosis are reported. Patients were 29 and 54-year-old males, farm workers, with "grippe-like" symptoms and radiographic findings suggestive of granulomatous interstitial disease. Transthoracoscopic and transbronchial biopsies were performed. Pulmonary function was measured by spirometry. One patient used ketoconazole. Possibility of misdiagnosed pulmonary adiaspiromycosis is emphasized.Relatam-se casos de adiaspiromicose pulmonar em homens brancos de 29 e 54 anos, lavradores, com sintomas "gripais" e achados radiológicos sugestivos de doença granulomatosa intersticial. Biópsias transbrônquicas e transtoracoscópicas foram realizadas. A função pulmonar foi avaliada por espirometria. Um paciente usou cetoconazol.
