We present a challenging case of a patient admitted to an intensive care unit with influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA). The clinical course was characterised by refractory fungal pneumonia and tracheobronchitis, suspected drug-induced liver injury due to triazole antifungals, and secondary bacterial infections with multidrug-resistant microorganisms, resulting in a fatal outcome despite the optimisation of antifungal treatment through therapeutic drug monitoring. This case underscores the complexity that clinicians face in managing critically ill patients with invasive fungal infections.
我们报告了一例具有挑战性的病例,一名患者因流感相关肺曲霉病(IAPA)入住重症监护病房。临床病程的特点是难治性真菌性肺炎和气管支气管炎,怀疑因三唑类抗真菌药物导致药物性肝损伤,以及继发多重耐药微生物的细菌感染,尽管通过治疗药物监测优化了抗真菌治疗,但仍导致了致命结局。该病例突显了临床医生在管理侵袭性真菌感染的重症患者时所面临的复杂性。
