On the basis of an analysis of long-term results of the operative treatment of 17 patients (from 1 to 10 years) the development of possible complications associated with the aspergillous infection was established: aspergillous mycetoma with a bronchial fistula (in 3 patients), chronic aspergillous bronchopneumonia (in 10 patients), polycystosis of the lungs (in 3 patients). A conclusion is made of a necessary continuous dispensary follow-up of the patients operated upon and their treatment by antifungal drugs.
