%X it is described a pulmonary mucormycosis in an 11-year-old child with aids. the diagnosis was obtained by direct examination of the bronchial aspiration. the non-septate, hyaline, dichotomous, pathognomonic cenotic hyphae of this disease were observed. the child was cured with the specific treatment with amphotericin b, since he died a year later and this affection did not appear in the necropsy. this combination of pulmonary mucormycosis and aids has never been reported in cuba.
