Pulmonary candidiasis in cystic fibrosis.

A child with cystic fibrosis and asthma developed pulmonary candidiasis. Predisposing factors 
in this patient were prolonged antibiotic therapy, high-dose corticosteroids, and intravenous 
catherisation. A diagnosis was made by lung puncture and confirmed by 
rapid response to 5-fluorocytosine.
