Abstract

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is one of the serious complications in neutropenic patients with malignancy. The frequency of aspergillosis in these patients is related to the severity and duration of neutropenia, conditions causing the increased number of spores in the environment (insulation at the hospital, decaying vegetation) and/or T lymphocyte deficiency or dysfunction. In this paper, we report four cases of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in patients with leukemia, which were diagnosed simultaneously and resolved after liposomal amphotericin B treatment.

Özet

İnvazif pulmoner aspergilloz (İPA) nötropeni gelişen kanserli hastalarda ciddi komplikasyonlardan biridir. Aspergilloz gelişim sıklığını ağır ve uzun süren nötropeninin yanı sıra, çevre koşullarında spor sayısında artışa yol açan değişiklikler (çevrede inşaat, çürümüş atıklar) ve/veya T lenfosit eksikliği ya da işlev bozukluğu belirler. Burada, ünitemizde eşzamanda ortaya çıkan ve lipozomal amfoterisin B ile tedavi sonrası düzelme sağlanan akut lösemili dört İPA olgusu sunuldu.
