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...
