A case of active pulmonary secondary tuberculosis associated with bronchial tuberculosis and bronchial geotrichosis is presented. This association is infrequent. Favoring factors: local and general immunodepression (recurrent infection with pyogenic germs, rubella, neutropenia, aggressive antibiotherapy, iron deficiency). The diagnosis was based mainly on the bacteriological sputum examination for bK (smear and culture) and the mycologic examination (smear and culture) of the bronchial aspiration, identifying Geotrichum candidum. The treatment consisted of antituberculous and antimycotic drugs, bronchodilators, bronchial aspirations and local endoscopic administration of antimycotic drugs.

Pulmonary geotrichosis is a rare mycosis caused by an arthrospore filamentous fungi of the genus Geotrichum. It is an opportunistic infection that develops when underlying conditions are present, particularly immunosuppression including neutropenia. Pulmonary mycoses in non-neutropenic patients affect two main populations: the solid organ transplanted patients and patients whose local pulmonary defenses are altered by a chronic underlying lung pathology. We report a case of pulmonary infection Geotrichum capitatum in an old tuberculosis patient.
