Pseudomembranous aspergillus bronchitis is considered as an early form of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, a well-known airway infection in immunocompromised patients. Radiologic features concerning invasive aspergillosis of the airways have been reported. However, we describe here an unusual feature of invasive aspergillus bronchitis, never reported to date, observed in a double-lung transplanted patient. Chest radiograph and CT revealed significant peribronchial thickening without any parenchymal involvement.
假膜性曲霉支气管炎被认为是侵袭性肺曲霉病的早期形式,这是免疫功能低下患者中一种众所周知的气道感染。关于气道侵袭性曲霉病的放射学特征已有报道。然而,我们在此描述了一名双肺移植患者中观察到的侵袭性曲霉支气管炎的一种迄今未报道过的异常特征。胸部X线片和CT显示显著的支气管周围增厚,而无任何实质受累。
