NECROTIZING BRONCHIAL ASPERGILLOSIS IN A PATIENT WITH ACUTE MYELOCYTIC-LEUKEMIA - A CASE-REPORT

This case report describes a patient with acute myelocytic leukaemia, who developed a necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis. This is an uncomm on, new form of invasive aspergillosis, which is mainly seen in the he art-lung transplantation setting and has only been reported once in an other patient with leukaemia. Neither amphotericin B nor liposomal amp hotericin (AmBisome) was effective. Only after the immune system had r ecovered did the infection disappear.
