Abstract

A female 66 year-old patient, not immunocompromised, was admitted in ICU for severe influenza complicated by severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) leading to extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). During ICU hospitalization, she developed a disseminated invasive aspergillosis with cerebral access and coronary occlusion which lead to cardiac arrest. Despite a successful revascularization procedure, the patient died of refractory shock.

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
