Abstract:
Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is a new diagnostic tool for the evaluation of pulmonary lesions inaccessible by conventional bronchoscopy. Most often, ENB is used for the diagnosis of lung cancer, but can be used to evaluate fungal conditions and other diseases. We present the case of a 44-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Aspergillus via ENB.
