Chest wall and mediastinal nodal aspergillosis in an immunocompetent host.
Aspergillosis may complicate the course of a patient in an immunocompromised state. However, Aspergillus infection is rarely encountered in an immunocompetent host. We present an extremely rare case of Aspergillus chest wall involvement associated with extensive mediastinal lymphadenopathy in an immunocompetent host. A chest wall lesion was the initial indication of underlying nodal disease. We...
متن کاملBilateral renal aspergillosis in an immunocompetent host
Bilateral primary renal aspergillosis is rare in immunocompetent hosts. The clinical presentation of Aspergillus pyelonephritis is similar to that of bacterial pyelonephritis. Here, we present an immunocompetent patient with primary bilateral renal abscesses due to Aspergillus fumigatus.
متن کاملSemi-Invasive Aspergillosis in an Immunocompetent Host
A 54 year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with dyspnea, dry cough and fever. Chest X-ray revealed pneumonic infiltration with air bronchograms involving all zones of right hemithorax. We observed radiological and clinical progress despite ceftriaxone, clarithromicin and bronchodilator for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The gram staining of bronchoalveolar lavage showed funga...
متن کاملPrimary cutaneous aspergillosis in an immunocompetent host.
Sir, Primary cutaneous aspergillosis is rare and when seen it is usually associated with compromised immune status of the host. The lesions usually occur at the site of trauma, e.g. in a sick patient at the site of armboards, tapes or intravenous catheters. The fungus, Aspergillus, is a saprophytic dimorphic mould present in soil, decaying vegetation and organic debris. Clinically it involves t...
