Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a rapidly progressive and often fatal infectious disease described classically in patients who are highly immunocompromised. However, there has been increasing evidence that IA may affect critically ill patients without traditional risk factors. We present a case of a 47-year-old man without conventional risk factors for IA who presented with impending sepsis and proceeded to have a complicated hospital course with a postmortem diagnosis of invasive gastrointestinal aspergillosis of the small bowel.
侵袭性曲霉病(IA)是一种进展迅速且往往致命的传染病,传统上多见于免疫功能极度低下的患者。然而,越来越多的证据表明,IA可能会影响没有传统危险因素的重症患者。我们报告一例47岁男性病例,该患者没有患IA的传统危险因素,表现为即将发生脓毒症,随后经历了复杂的住院过程,尸检诊断为小肠侵袭性胃肠道曲霉病。
