The Importance of Radiological Findings In Disseminated Rhinocerebral and Pulmonary Invasive Fungal İnfection With Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: Case Report
AKUT LENFOBLASTİK LÖSEMİLİ ÇOCUKLARDA YAYGIN RİNOSEREBRAL VE PULMONER İNVAZİF FUNGAL ENFEKSİYON TANISINDA RADYOLOJİK BULGULARIN ÖNEMİ: OLGU SUNUMU
We presented a case report to emphazise the radiological findings of IFI as a diagnostic tool in an acute lymphoblastic leukemia ALL patient with rhinocerebral and pulmonary IFI
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:The diagnosis of invasive fungal infection IFI is particularly difficult in immunocompromised patients.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Clinical and radiological findings supporting the diagnosis of IFI are very important.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:We presented a case report to emphazise the radiological findings of IFI as a diagnostic tool in an acute lymphoblastic leukemia ALL patient with rhinocerebral and pulmonary IFI

Özet
İnvazif mantar enfeksiyonların tanısını koyabilmek immün yetmezlikli hastalarda çok güçtür. Bu nokta da klinik ve radyolojik bulguların tanıyı desteklemesi çok önemlidir. Biz burada akut lenfoblastik lösemi nedeniyle takipte olan ve invazif fungal enfeksiyon gelişen bir hastayı sunarak tanıda radyolojik bulguların önemini vurgulamak istedik
