A 21-year-old woman with acute lymphocytic leukemia developed clinical and radiographic signs of epiglottitis. Premortem and postmortem histologic studies showed invasive aspergillosis; Aspergillus flavus was grown in culture. The necrotizing nature of this infection is explained by the predilection of Aspergillus sp. for invasion of blood vessels. The usual causative agents of epiglottitis are bacteria; the association with fungal infection has not been previously described.
一名21岁的急性淋巴细胞白血病女性出现了会厌炎的临床和影像学表现。生前和死后组织学研究显示为侵袭性曲霉病;在培养物中培养出了黄曲霉。这种感染的坏死性质可通过曲霉属对血管侵袭的偏好来解释。会厌炎的常见病原体是细菌;此前尚未描述过与真菌感染的关联。
