Case Summary: This case is about a female patient, adult, with medical background, who debuted with acute respiratory failure and hemoptysis, the imaging and microbiological evidence allowed the diagnosis of pulmonary angio-invasive aspergillosis coexisting with pulmonary candidiasis; Antifungal therapy was used to solve the infection Conclusion: A mixed pulmonary mycosis depends on the exposure of the source of infection and can coexist in immunocompetence due to the exfoliative action of the pathogens and the substrates that the host produces.
