Abstract

Invasive aspergillosis is a fungal infection which is observed increasingly in immunocompromised patients due to the use of more aggressive chemotherapeutic regimens. This is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neutropenic patients. Cavitation and Pleural-based, wedge- shaped lesions are the most distinctive appearances af invasive aspergillosis. A rare combination of spontaneous pneumothorax and pleural effusion associated with systemic aspergillosis in a child with high-grade lymphoma is described.

Özet

İnvasiv aspergillozis immunsuprese hastalarda agresiv kemoterapi rejimlerinin kullanılmasıyla artış gösteren fungal bir enfeksiyondur. Nötropenik hastalarda mortalite ve morbiditenin önemli bir sebebidir. Kavitasyon ve plevra tabanlı üçgen şeklinde lezyonlar invaziv aspergillozisin en belirgin özelliğidir. Yüksek dereceli lenfoma tanısı ile takip edilen bir çocukda sistemik aspergillozise eşlik eden nadir bir kombinasyon olarak spontan pnömotoraks ve plevral efüzyonu vakası sunulmuştur.
