Invasive aspergillosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, especially in those with neutropenia or those who have undergone transplantation of bone marrow or solid organs. We present the case of a 23-year-old male patient, previously diagnosed with HIV infection, without antiretroviral treatment, with a clinical picture of constitutional and respiratory symptoms, in whom aspergillosis of the trachea was documented by fibrobronchoscopy and histopathological examination.
