Necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis as a cause of hemoptysis in sarcoidosis

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences
M FujimuraT Matsuda

Abstract

The case history is presented of a patient with recurrent massive hemoptysis caused by necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis associated with sarcoidosis. The involved segments (right IX and X) were resected for treatment of the life-threatening hemoptysis. Histologic examination of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis. Necrotizing bronchial aspergillosis is a rare variant form of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and has not been described previously as a cause of hemoptysis in sarcoidosis.

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.
