Aspergillosis is a fungal disease caused by Aspergillus sp., a filamentous fungus that is found in the air. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is known to affect immunocompromised patients.80 sputum sample collect from cancer patient infected with pneumonia. This sample cultured on SDA for isolation and identification Aspergillus spp. And test the sensitivity of Aspergillus to antifungal. diagnosis by macroscopic and microscopic examination. The result show the most Aspergillus sp. causes pneumonia, A.fumigatus represent 12 (40 %) following by A.niger 8 (26.7%),A.terrus 4(13.3%) and A.flavus 2 (6.7%).Alternaria sp. 2(6.7%) and Pencillum sp. 2 (6.7%) also isolated. antifungal test shows that 8 isolates A. niger resistance to itraconazole and all other Aspergillus sensitive.

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by haemoflagellate Leishmania . The disease is widespread and may cause serious health problems in communities throughout the Mediterranean regions and the Middle East, including Iraq. There are about 12 million cases worldwide, and there are about 1.5 million new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis each year. Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a major public health problem and an endemic disease in Iraqi population, so this study was conducted to find the best method for the diagnosis, by "Molecular diagnosis and phylogenetic tree analysis to detection of the cutaneous leishmaniasis species in Karbala city by Nested PCR. Results of laboratory with microscope examination of one hundred patients cases showed (92) cases were infected while (8) is not in Cutaneous leishmaniasis that 72 males that percentage (78.3)% and 20 females that percentage (21.7)% with age ranged 10-59 years, attended to Department of Dermatology Al-Husseini Hospital in Karbala during the period between November 2017 to end January 2018
