Disseminated infection with Aspergillus terreus is a rare disease that affects only the immunocompromised host. We report a case of systemic infection with A. terreus resulting in endocarditis, aortic embolization, and splenic infarction in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Diagnosis through peripheral blood culture, lack of pulmonary involvement, and onset of disease during complete remission from leukemia constitute uncommon features of this case.
土曲霉播散性感染是一种仅影响免疫功能低下宿主的罕见疾病。我们报告一例急性淋巴细胞白血病患者发生土曲霉全身感染,导致心内膜炎、主动脉栓塞和脾梗死。通过外周血培养诊断、无肺部受累以及在白血病完全缓解期发病是该病例的不常见特征。
