Invasive aspergillosis is a classic fungal infection of immunocompromised hosts which rarely manifests in immunocompetent patients. In this report, we present a case of invasive aspergillosis which resulted from induced immunosuppression through corticosteroid treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. Further investigation is necessary into the epidemiology of mixed fungal rhinosinusitis and providers should be wary of invasive disease in those receiving chronic steroids.
侵袭性曲霉病是免疫功能低下宿主的一种典型真菌感染，在免疫功能正常的患者中很少出现。在本报告中，我们介绍了一例侵袭性曲霉病病例，该病例是由于对慢性鼻窦炎进行皮质类固醇治疗导致免疫抑制而引起的。有必要对混合性真菌性鼻窦炎的流行病学进行进一步研究，医疗服务提供者应对接受长期类固醇治疗的患者中的侵袭性疾病保持警惕。
