| == Treatment ==
| |
| Most cases of aspergilloma do not require treatment. Treatment of diseases which increase the risk of aspergilloma, such as tuberculosis, may help prevent their formation. In cases complicated by severe hemoptysis, [[surgery]] may be required to remove the aspergilloma and stop the bleeding. There has been interest in treatment with anti-fungal [[medication]]s such as [[itraconazole]], but as of [[2005]], none has been shown to eradicate aspergillomas.
