Bronchopulmonary candidiasis is a pulmonary fungal disease caused mainly by Candida albicans, which occurs as a secondary infection with weakened immunity and is divided into bronchitic, pneumonia and hypersensitivity types. The article describes two cases: in the first, a patient with refractory airway hyperreactivity without signs of severe pneumonia on imaging, where Candida albicans was confirmed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BALF) culture, which enabled successful weaning from ventilation after antifungal treatment. In the second case, severe pneumonia with the same isolation of Candida albicans from BALF, where the patient recovered after combined treatment with caspofungin and isavuconazole. Serological markers were normal in both patients. The diagnosis was supported by clinical signs together with a positive culture from BALF. Manifestations can be atypical compared to radiological and serological findings, with a positive BALF culture combined with the clinic serving as a key diagnostic element, although definitive confirmation requires histopathology.
