  • Title: [Necrotizing tracheobronchial aspergillosis in an immunosuppressed patient. Report of one case].
    Author: Andresen MH, Venegas CP, Vega C, Aravena C, Andresen MV.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 2015 Apr; 143(4):525-30. PubMed ID: 26204546.
    Abstract:
    Necrotizing tracheobronchitis due to Aspergillus spp is a rare form of invasive aspergillosis. This infection is limited to or predominant in the bronchial tree. The clinical evolution is gradual: from mild non-specific manifestations of acute tracheobronchitis to severe acute respiratory insufficiency determined by a bronchial obstruction syndrome. We report a 38 years old female with systemic lupus erythematosus treated with methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide. She developed an invasive aspergillosis, severe respiratory failure with predominant tracheobronchial damage and upper respiratory complications.
