Data collected were entered into Excel spreadsheet and quantitativedata were expressed as number and percentage. The presentation of pulmonary aspergillosis in treated casesof pulmonary TB varies from aspergilloma (51.3%) to chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis (38.4%) toallergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (10.3%). Hemoptysis (79.5%) of varying severity was the mostcommon symptom. Most of the patients were farmers by occupation. The most common species wereAspergillus fumigatus; others were Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus terrus in 23.2%,20.5%, and 12.8 %, respectively.
