An asymptomatic and radiographically occult lung abscess was the primary focus of infection in this case of fatal disseminated aspergillosis in a renal transplant recipient. Extensive neurological evaluation in response to a change in personality failed to reveal a brain abscess, which was the cause of death. This case illustrates the variability in presentations of aspergillosis and the continuing difficulties in diagnosing this infection in immunosuppressed patients.
在这位肾移植受者发生的致命播散性曲霉病病例中,一个无症状且影像学隐匿的肺脓肿是感染的主要病灶。针对性格改变进行的广泛神经学评估未能发现脑脓肿,而脑脓肿是导致死亡的原因。该病例说明了曲霉病临床表现的多样性以及在免疫抑制患者中诊断这种感染仍存在的困难。
